Abstract

This paper establishes the existence of forward complete cohomogeneity one Spin(7)\mathrm{Spin}(7) metrics with generic Aloff--Wallach spaces Nk,lN_{k,l} as principal orbits and CP2\mathbb{CP}^2 as the singular orbit, building on Reidegeld's analysis of the initial value problem. We construct three continuous one-parameter families of non-compact Spin(7)\mathrm{Spin}(7) metrics. Each family contains a limiting asymptotically conical (AC) metric, while the other metrics in the families are asymptotically locally conical (ALC). Moreover, two of the AC metrics share the same asymptotic cone, exhibiting a geometric transition phenomenon analogous to that found by Lehmann in the exceptional case.
