Holonomy in Type IIA & M Theory
We consider spaces M 7 and M 8 of G 2 holonomy and Spin(7) holonomy in seven and eight dimensions, with a U (1) isometry. For metrics where the length of the associated circle is everywhere finite and non-zero, one can perform a Kaluza-Klein reduction of supersymmet-ric M-theory solutions (Minkowski) 4 × M 7 or (Minkowski) 3 × M 8 , to give supersymmetric solutions (Minkowski) 4 × Y 6 or (Minko...

The classifications of holonomy groups in Lorentzian and in Euclidean signature are quite different. A group of interest in Lorentzian signature in n dimensions is the maximal proper subgroup of the Lorentz group, Sim(n− 2). Ricci-flat metrics with Sim(2) holonomy were constructed by Kerr and Goldberg, and a single four-dimensional example with a non-zero cosmological constant was exhibited by ...

متن کاملM-theory conifolds.
Seven manifolds of G2 holonomy provide a bridge between M-theory and string theory, via Kaluza-Klein reduction to Calabi-Yau six manifolds. We find first-order equations for a new family of G2 metrics D7, with S3 x S3 principal orbits. These are related at weak string coupling to the resolved conifold, paralleling earlier examples B7 that are related to the deformed conifold, allowing a deeper ...
متن کاملCausal properties of kaluza-klein metrics
We present some global properties of Kaluza-Klein metrics. We state that the Kaluza-Klein metrics associated to globally hyperbolic spacetimes are globally hyperbolic. Applications to the solutions of the relativistic Lorentz equation are shown. (~) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
