Abstract

In this article, we construct non-compact complete Einstein metrics on two infinite series of manifolds. The first series of manifolds are vector bundles with S4m+3\mathbb{S}^{4m+3} as principal orbit and HPm\mathbb{HP}^{m} as singular orbit. The second series of manifolds are R4m+4\mathbb{R}^{4m+4} with the same principal orbit. For each case, a continuous 1-parameter family of complete Ricci-flat metrics and a continuous 2-parameter family of complete negative Einstein metrics are constructed. In particular, Spin(7)\mathrm{Spin}(7) metrics A8\mathbb{A}_8 and B8\mathbb{B}_8 discovered by Cveti\v{c} et al. in 2004 are recovered in the Ricci-flat family. A Ricci flat metric with conical singularity is also constructed on R4m+4\mathbb{R}^{4m+4}. Asymptotic limits of all Einstein metrics constructed are studied. Most of the Ricci-flat metrics are asymptotically locally conical (ALC). Asymptotically conical (AC) metrics are found on the boundary of the Ricci-flat family. All the negative Einstein metrics constructed are asymptotically hyperbolic (AH).
