\(\mathrm{G}_2\) manifolds with nodal singularities along circles (Q2659470)

Construction of compact Riemannian manifolds (with singularities) with the holonomy group \(\mathrm{G}_2\) is a hot topic which has various applications in Mathematical Physics. \textit{A. Corti} et al. [Duke Math. J. 164, No. 10, 1971--2092 (2015; Zbl 1343.53044)] formulated three problems related to the twisted connected sum construction method in the singular case. The present paper completely solves the first two problems and makes a progress in the solution of the third problem. ``The first problem is the construction of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau threefolds with nodal singularities. The second problem is finding matching data on the ends. The third problem is to control neck length in the gluing construction.''
