Abstract: A study is made of

R^{6}

as a singular quotient of the conical space

R^{+} i m e s C P^{3}

with holonomy

G_{2}

with respect to an obvious action by

U (1)

on

C P^{3}

with fixed points. Closed expressions are found for the induced metric, and for both the curvature and symplectic 2-forms characterizing the reduction. All these tensors are invariant by a diagonal action of

S O (3)

on

R^{6}

, which can be used effectively to describe the resulting geometrical features.

Review text

The work is a fundamental study on the manifold $\mathbb{R}^6$ as a singular quotient of the conical space $\mathbb{R}^+\times \mathbb{CP}^3$ with $g$ holonomy $G_2$ with respect to the action of the group $\mathrm{U}(1)$ on $\mathbb{CP}^3$. Some important expressions for induced metrics, symplectic 2-forms and similar objects that characterize the reduction, are found. The invariance of the tensors with respect to the action of the Lie group $\operatorname{SO}(3)$ on $\mathbb{R}^6$ is studied. The twistor fibration $\pi:\mathbb{CP}^3\to S^4$ is considered also with respect to the action of $\operatorname{SO}(3)$. Families of Riemannian metrics on some submanifolds are studied. Important results on the restrictions of these metrics are obtained.
