Conically singular Cayley submanifolds II: Desingularisations

Differential Geometry 2023-12-08 v1

Abstract

This is the second in a series of three papers working towards constructing fibrations of compact Spin(7) manifolds by Cayley submanifolds. In this paper we show that a conically singular Cayley submanifold in an almost Spin(7)-manifold can be desingularised by gluing in a rescaled asymptotically conical submanifold of R8\mathbb{R}^8 with the same asymptotic cone. We assume that both the conically singular and the asymptotically conical Cayley submanifold are unobstructed in their respective moduli spaces.
