Abstract
A recent theorem of Foscolo-Haskins-Nordstr\"om which constructs complete -holonomy orbifolds from circle bundles over Calabi-Yau cones can be utilised to construct and investigate a large class of generalisations of the -theory flop transition. We see that in many cases a UV perturbative gauge theory appears to have an infrared dual described by a smooth -holonomy background in -theory. Various physical checks of this proposal are carried out affirmatively.
