Deformations of calibrated subbundles of Euclidean spaces via twisting by special sections (Q1759453)

The Harvey-Lawson conormal bundle construction of special Lagrangian submanifolds in \(\mathbb C^n\) was generalized by Borisenko in 1993. The Borisenko construction is based on a twisting by an exact 1-form \(d\rho\) the conormal bundle of a \(p\)-dimensional austere submanifold of \(\mathbb R^n\) and finding conditions on \(\rho\) under which the resulting smooth \(n\)-dimensional submanifold of \(\mathbb C^n\) is special Lagrangian. Borisenko considered the case \(p=3\) and \(n=4\). This paper considers first the construction for general \(p\) and \(n\), then extends the construction twisting by a closed 1-form rather than an exact 1-form. Moreover, the authors extend the construction the setting of the exceptional calibrations on \(\mathbb R^7\) and \(\mathbb R^8\).
