\(G_2\)-manifolds and the ADM formalism (Q2274348)

A \(G_2\)-manifold is a \(7\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold with holonomy group contained in the exceptional Lie group \(G_2\). The author regards the present paper as a continuation of previous work [``\(G_2\)-metrics arising from non-integrable special Lagrangian fibrations'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1801.05540}], in which the main result gives a characterization of a certain dynamical system as a constraint Hamiltonian dynamical system related to \(G_2\). The paper is adequately described in the abstract: ``In this paper we study a Hamiltonian function on the cotangent bundle of the space of Riemannian metrics on a \(3\)-manifold \(M\) and prove the orbits of the constrained Hamiltonian dynamical system correspond to \(G_2\)-manifolds foliated by hypersurfaces diffeomorphic to \(M\times SO(3)\).''
