On spin(7) holonomy metric based on \(\text{SU}(3)/\text{U}(1). \) II (Q1864909)

The authors resume their study of locally conical metrics of the form \(dt^2 + ds(t)^2\) with exceptional holonomy where \(ds(t)^2\) is a homogeneous metric on a seven-dimensional manifold \(\text{SU}(3)/S^1\) [ibid. 43, No. 4, 293-309 (2002; Zbl 1024.53035)]. In this paper they study in detail the special choice of the \(S^1\)-subgroup which leads to regular metrics with singular orbits \(\text{SU}(3)/T^2\) or \({\mathbb{C}}P^2\). The authors also derive some new metrics with \(\text{SU}(4)\)-holonomy.
