Manifolds of G_2 Holonomy from N=4 Sigma Model
Abstract
Description
Using two dimensional (2D) N=4 sigma model, with $U(1)^r$ gauge symmetry, and introducing the ADE Cartan matrices as gauge matrix charges, we build " toric" hyper-Kahler eight real dimensional manifolds X_8. Dividing by one toric geometry circle action of X_8 manifolds, we present examples describing quotients $X_7={X_8\over U(1)}$ of G_2 holonomy. In particular, for the A_r Cartan matrix, the quotient space is a cone on a $ {S^2}$ bundle over r intersecting $\bf WCP^2_{(1,2,1)}$ projective spaces according to the A_r Dynkin diagram.
