Geometric transitions with Spin(7) holonomy via a dynamical system (Q2160233)

The author studies Spin(7)-Metrics with Principal Orbit \(N(1,-1)\) and constructed t up to scale two cohomogeneity one Spin(7)-metrics with principal orbit \(N(1,-1)\) and an isolated conical singularity modelled on the Spin(7)-cone \(C\). Also, he explains that \(N(k,l)\) is a \(L(1,|k+l|)\)-bundle over \(\mathbb{CP}^2\). The two families fit into the geography of previously known families of cohomogeneity one metrics with exceptional holonomy and provide a Spin(7). He shows that any forward complete solution \((a,b,c,f)\) of the ODE system. Finally, the author obtains results by relating the Spin(7)-equations to a simple dynamical system on a 3-dimensional cube.
