Closed $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures with $\mathbb{T}^3$-symmetry and hypersymplectic structures
Abstract
We decompose linear -structure in canonical ways adapted to 3-dimensional subspaces, in terms of certain natural 1-forms and definite triple of 2-forms, and apply the decompositions to the study of -structure with -symmetry. Closed -structures with an effective -symmetry on connected manifolds are roughly classified into two types according the orbits being non-isotropic or isotropic. Type I: if some orbit is non-isotropic, then the action is almost-free and reduces to a good hypersymplectic orbifold with cyclic isotropic groups. Type II: if some orbit is isotropic, then the action is locally multi-Hamiltonian for . Moreover, the open and dense subset of principal orbits is foliated by -invariant hypersymplectic manifolds. If is torsion-free, then for Type I, there arises another natural hypersymplectic structure, and a generalized Gibbons-Hawking Ansatz extending Madsen-Swann Ansatz is derived. For Type II, is locally toric. Assuming moreover completeness and constant orbit volume, exactly three possibilities occur. Type Ia: orbits are purely non-isotropic non-associative, then the hypersymplectic 4-orbifold becomes a flat manifold. Type Ib: orbits are purely associative, then the -action is flat, and the hypersymplectic 4-orbifold becomes a hyperk\"ahler 4-orbifold. Type II: orbits are isotropic, then all orbits are principal, and is flat.
