Positive Self Dual Einstein Orbifolds with One-Dimensional Isometry Group

Publication date 24 March 2007

Abstract: The aim of this thesis is to construct new examples of compact orbifolds

m a t h c a l O^{4} (T h e t a)

which admit a self dual Einstein (SDE) metric of positive scalar curvature

s > 0

, with a one-dimensional group of isometries. In particular we want to prove that these examples are different from those described by Boyer, Galicki and Piccinni in emph{
