Cayley fibrations in the Bryant-Salamon $Spin(7)$ manifold

Differential Geometry 2024-06-04 v2

Abstract

On each complete asymptotically conical Spin(7)Spin(7) manifold constructed by Bryant and Salamon, including the asymptotic cones, we consider a natural family of SU(2)SU(2) actions preserving the Cayley form. For each element of this family, we study the (possibly singular) invariant Cayley fibration, which we describe explicitly, if possible. These can be reckoned as generalizations of the trivial flat fibration of R8\mathbb{R}^8 and the product of a line with the Harvey-Lawson coassociative fibration of R7\mathbb{R}^7. The fibres will provide new examples of asymptotically conical Cayley submanifolds in the Bryant-Salamon manifolds of topology R4,R×S3\mathbb{R}^4, \mathbb{R}\times S^3 and OCP1(1)\mathcal{O}_{CP^1} (-1).
