Abstract: The real Fourier-Mukai transform sends a section of a torus fibration to a connection over the total space of the dual torus fibration. By this method, Leung, Yau and Zaslow introduced deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills (dHYM) connections for K"ahler manifolds and Lee and Leung introduced deformed Donaldson-Thomas (dDT) connections for $G_2$- and $mSpin(7)$-manifolds. In this paper, we suggest an alternative definition of a dDT connection for a manifold with a $mSpin(7)$-structure which seems to be more appropriate by carefully computing the real Fourier-Mukai transform again. We also post some evidences showing that the definition we suggest is compatible with dDT connections for a $G_2$-manifold and dHYM connections of a Calabi-Yau 4-manifold. Another importance of this paper is that it motivates our study in our other papers. That is, based on the computations in this paper, we develop the theories of deformations of dDT connections for a manifold with a $mSpin(7)$-structure and the "mirror" of the volume functional, which is called the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action in physics.

Review text

This paper concerns Spin(7)- and \(G_{2}\)-structures. As is well known, a manifold supporting a Spin(7)- (resp. \(G_{2}\)-)structure has dimension 8 (resp. 7). These structures are closely related to each other and appear in Berger's list of possible holonomy groups of Riemannian manifolds. In the paper under review the authors give an alternative definition of the notion of a deformed Donaldson-Thomas connection for a manifold with a Spin(7)-structure, checking that it is compatible with a deformed Donaldson-Thomas connection for a manifold with a \(G_{2}\)-structure. It is also compatible with a deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills connection for a Calabi-Yau 4-manifold. As essential tool of the work, the authors use the real Fourier-Mukai transform, which has been previously used by \textit{N. C. Leung} et al. [Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 4, No. 6, 1319--1341 (2000; Zbl 1033.53044)] to introduce deformed Hermitian Yang-Mills connections for Kähler manifolds and by \textit{J.-H. Lee} and \textit{N. C. Leung} [Adv. Theor. Math. Phys. 13, No. 1, 1--31 (2009; Zbl 1171.81417)] to introduce deformed Donaldson-Thomas connections for Spin(7)- and \(G_{2}\)-manifolds. Besides, the theories of deformations of deformed Donaldson-Thomas connections for a manifold with a Spin(7)-structure are developed in the present paper.
