Coassociative Cones That Are Ruled by 2-planes
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that coassociative cones in R7 that are r-oriented and ruled by 2-planes are equivalent to CR-holomorphic curves in the oriented Grassmanian of 2-planes in R7. The geometry of these CR-holomorphic curves is studied and related to holomorphic curves in S6. This leads to an equivalence between associative cones on one side and the coassociative cones whose second fundamental form has an O(2) symmetry on the other. It also provides a number of methods for explicitly constructing coassociative 4-folds. One method leads to a family of coassociative 4-folds whose members are neither cones nor are ruled by 2-planes. This family directly generalizes the original family of examples provided by Harvey and Lawson when they introduced coassociative geometry.

Cayley Cones Ruled by 2-Planes: Desingularization and Implications of the Twistor Fibration
Cayley cones in the octonions O that are ruled by oriented 2-planes are equivalent to pseudoholomorphic curves in the Grassmannian of oriented 2-planes G(2,O). The well known twistor fibration G(2,O) → S is used to prove the existence of immersed higher-genus pseudoholomorphic curves in G(2,O). Equivalently, this produces Cayley cones whose links are S-bundles over genus-g Riemann surfaces. Whe...
متن کاملModuli of Coassociative Submanifolds and Semi-Flat Coassociative Fibrations
We show that the moduli space of deformations of a compact coassociative submanifold L has a natural local embedding as a submanifold of H(L,R). We show that a G2-manifold with a T -action of isomorphisms such that the orbits are coassociative tori is locally equivalent to a minimal 3-manifold in R with positive induced metric where R ∼= H(T ,R). By studying minimal surfaces in quadrics we show...
متن کاملHom-quantum Groups Ii: Cobraided Hom-bialgebras and Hom-quantum Geometry
A class of non-associative and non-coassociative generalizations of cobraided bialgebras, called cobraided Hom-bialgebras, is introduced. The non-(co)associativity in a cobraided Hom-bialgebra is controlled by a twisting map. Several methods for constructing cobraided Hombialgebras are given. In particular, Hom-type generalizations of FRT quantum groups, including quantum matrices and related q...
متن کاملThe Kepler Problem: Orbit Cones and Cylinders
Planetary orbits, being conic sections, may be obtained as the locus of intersection of planes and cones. The planes involved are familiar to anyone who has studied the classical Kepler problem. We focus here on the cones.
متن کاملFrom Entangled Codipterous Coalgebras to Coassociative Manifolds 1
In our previous works, we associated with each Hopf algebra, bialgebra and coassociative coalgebra, a directed graph. Describing how two coassociative coalgebras, via their directed graphs, can be entangled, leads to consider special coalgebras, called codipterous coalgebras. We yield a graphical interpretation of the notion of codipterous coalgebra and explain the necessity to study them. By g...
