Constructions of compact G2-holonomy manifolds

Differential Geometry 2019-09-26 v1

Abstract

This is a survey paper. We explain the known constructions for two geometrically different classes of examples of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy G2. One method uses resolutions of singularities of appropriately chosen 7-dimensional orbifolds, with the help of asymptotically locally Euclidean spaces. Another method uses the gluing of two asymptotically cylindrical pieces and requires a certain matching condition for their cross-sections `at infinity'.
