1 Towards a 2 - dimensional notion of holonomy ∗
نویسنده
چکیده
Previous work (Pradines, 1966, Aof and Brown, 1992) has given a setting for a holon-omy Lie groupoid of a locally Lie groupoid. Here we develop analogous 2-dimensional notions starting from a locally Lie crossed module of groupoids. This involves replacing the Ehresmann notion of a local smooth coadmissible section of a groupoid by a local smooth coadmissible homotopy (or free derivation) for the crossed module case. The development also has to use corresponding notions for certain types of double groupoids. This leads to a holonomy Lie groupoid rather than double groupoid, but one which involves the 2-dimensional information.

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...
متن کاملTowards a classification of Lorentzian holonomy groups
If the holonomy representation of an (n + 2)–dimensional simply-connected Lorentzian manifold (M,h) admits a degenerate invariant subspace its holonomy group is contained in the parabolic group (R×SO(n))⋉R. The main ingredient of such a holonomy group is the SO(n)–projection G := prSO(n)(Holp(M,h)) and one may ask whether it has to be a Riemannian holonomy group. In this paper we show that this...
متن کاملAn eight–dimensional approach to G2 manifolds
We develop a systematic approach to G2 holonomy manifolds with an SU(2)× SU(2) isometry using maximal eight-dimensional gauged supergravity to describe D6-branes wrapped on deformed three-spheres. A quite general metric ansatz that generalizes the celebrated Bryant–Salamon metric involves nine functions. We show that only six of them are the independent ones and derive the general first order s...
متن کاملHigher Order Integrability in Generalized Holonomy
Supersymmetric backgrounds in M-theory often involve four-form flux in addition to pure geometry. In such cases, the classification of supersymmetric vacua involves the notion of generalized holonomy taking values in SL(32,R), the Clifford group for eleven-dimensional spinors. Although previous investigations of generalized holonomy have focused on the curvature RMN (Ω) of the generalized SL(32...

The holonomy group of an (n+2)–dimensional simply-connected, indecomposable but non-irreducible Lorentzian manifold (M,h) is contained in the parabolic group (R × SO(n)) ⋉ R. The main ingredient of such a holonomy group is the SO(n)–projection G := prSO(n)(Holp(M,h)) and one may ask whether it has to be a Riemannian holonomy group. In this paper we show that this is always the case, completing ...
