Local Type III metrics with holonomy in $\mathrm{G}_2^*$
Abstract
Fino and Kath determined all possible holonomy groups of seven-dimensional pseu\-do-Rie\-man\-nian manifolds contained in the exceptional, non-compact, simple Lie group via the corresponding Lie algebras. They are distinguished by the dimension of their maximal semi-simple subrepresentation on the tangent space, the socle. An algebra is called of Type I, II or III if the socle has dimension 1, 2 or 3 respectively. This article proves that each possible holonomy group of Type III can indeed be realized by a metric of signature . For this purpose, metrics are explicitly constructed, using Cartan's methods of exterior differential systems, such that the holonomy of the manifold has the desired properties.
