Primitive Compact Flat Manifolds with Holonomy Group
From an important construction of Calabi (see [Ca], [Wo]), it follows that the compact Riemannian flat manifolds with first Betti number zero are the building blocks for all compact Riemannian flat manifolds. It is, therefore, of interest to construct families of such objects. These are often called primitive manifolds. Hantzsche and Wendt (1935) constructed the only existing 3-dimensional comp...
متن کاملSuperconformal Field Theories for Compact Manifolds with Spin(7) Holonomy
We present a construction of superconformal field theories for manifolds with Spin(7) holonomy. Geometrically these models correspond to the realization of Spin(7) manifolds as anti-holomorphic quotients of Calabi-Yau fourfolds. Describing the fourfolds as Gepner models and requiring anomaly cancellation we determine the resulting Betti numbers of the Spin(7) superconformal field theory. As in ...

متن کاملM-Theory on Manifolds with G2 Holonomy
We study M-theory on G2 holonomy spaces that are constructed by dividing a seven-torus by some discrete symmetry group. We classify possible group elements that may be used in this construction and use them to find a set of possible orbifold groups that lead to co-dimension four singularities. We describe how to blow up such singularities, and then derive the moduli Kähler potential for M-theor...
