Extra-twisted connected sum G_2-manifolds

Differential Geometry 2023-02-20 v3

Abstract

We present a construction of closed 7-manifolds of holonomy G_2, which generalises Kovalev's twisted connected sums by taking quotients of the pieces in the construction before gluing. This makes it possible to realise a wider range of topological types, and Crowley, Goette and the author arXiv:1505.02734 use this to exhibit examples of closed 7-manifolds with disconnected moduli space of holonomy G_2 metrics.
