Abstract: The Hitchin flow constructs eight-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M,g) with holonomy in Spin(7) starting with a cocalibrated G_2-structure on a seven-dimensional manifold. As Sp(2)subseteq SU(4)subseteq Spin(7), one may also obtain Calabi-Yau fourfolds or hyperK"ahler manifolds via the Hitchin flow. In this paper, we show that the Hitchin flow on almost Abelian Lie algebras and on Lie algebras with one-dimensional commutator always yields Riemannian metrics with Hol(g)subseteq SU(4) but Hol(g) eq Sp(2). We investigate when we actually get Hol(g)=SU(4) and obtain so many new explicit examples of Calabi-Yau fourfolds. The results rely on the connection between cocalibrated G_2-structures and hypo SU(3)-structures and between the Hitchin and the hypo flow and on a systematic study of hypo SU(3)-structures and the hypo flow on Lie algebras. This study gives us many other interesting results: We obtain full classifications of hypo SU(3)-structures with particular intrinsic torsion on Lie algebras. Moreover, we can exclude reducible or Sp(2)-holonomy or do get Hol(g)=SU(4) for the Riemannian manifolds obtained by the hypo flow with initial values in some other intrinsic torsion classes.
