Exotic G₂-manifolds

Abstract: We exhibit the first examples of closed 7-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with holonomy G_2 that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. These are also the first examples of closed Ricci-flat manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. The examples are generated by applying the twisted connected sum construction to Fano 3-folds of Picard rank 1 and 2. The smooth structures are distinguished by the generalised Eells-Kuiper invariant introduced by the authors in arXiv:1406.2226.
Given a geometric structure, one may ask whether there are manifolds with this structure that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. The authors consider Riemannian metrics with holonomy the exceptional simple Lie group \(G_2\) on closed manifolds of dimension \(7\). Such manifolds will be Ricci-flat. They construct a plentyful supply of such manifolds via a twisted connected sum construction. For their manifolds they are able to compute the generalized Eells-Kuiper invariant, which distinguishes smooth manifolds. The main result exhibits the first pair of such manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic.
