We present a simple derivation of the Ricci-flat Kähler metric and its Kähler potential on the canonical line bundle over arbitrary Kähler coset space equipped with the Kähler-Einstein metric. ∗ E-mail: [email protected] † E-mail: [email protected] ‡ E-mail: [email protected]

We classify, up to orbit equivalence, the cohomogeneity one actions on the noncompact Riemannian symmetric spaces G2 /G2, SL3(C)/SU3 and SO 2,n+2/SO2SOn+2, n ≥ 1.

Asymptotically locally conical (ALC) metric of exceptional holonomy has an asymptotic circle bundle structure that accommodates the M theory circle in type IIA reduction. Taking Spin(7) metrics of cohomogeneity one as explicit examples, we investigate deformations of ALC metrics, in particular that change the asymptotic S radius related to the type IIA string coupling constant. When the canonic...

We consider cohomogeneity one homogeneous disk bundles and adress the question when these admit a nonnegatively curved1 invariant metric with normal collar, i.e., such that near the boundary the metric is the product of an interval and a normal homogeneous space. If such a bundle is not (the quotient of) a trivial bundle, then we show that its rank has to be in {2, 3, 4, 6, 8}. Moreover, we giv...

We analyse in a systematic way the (non-)compact n-dimensional Einstein-Weyl spaces equipped with a cohomogeneity-one metric. In that context, with no compactness hypothesis for the manifold on which lives the Einstein-Weyl structure, we prove that, as soon as the (n-1)-dimensional basis space is an homogeneous reductive Riemannian space with an unimodular group of left-acting isometries G : • ...
