Abstract: Non-compact G_2 holonomy metrics that arise from a T^2 bundle over a hyper-Kahler space are discussed. These are one parameter deformations of the metrics studied by Gibbons, Lu, Pope and Stelle in hep-th/0108191. Seven-dimensional spaces with G_2 holonomy fibered over the Taub-Nut and the Eguchi-Hanson gravitational instantons are found, together with other examples. By considering the Apostolov-Salamon theorem math.DG/0303197, we construct a new example that, still being a T^2 bundle over hyper-Kahler, represents a non trivial two parameter deformation of the metrics studied in hep-th/0108191. We then review the Spin(7) metrics arising from a T^3 bundle over a hyper-Kahler and we find two parameter deformation of such spaces as well. We show that if the hyper-Kahler base satisfies certain properties, a non trivial three parameter deformations is also possible. The relation between these spaces with the half-flat structures and almost G_2 holonomy spaces is briefly discussed.

Review text

Building on work of \textit{G. W. Gibbons, H. Lü, C. N. Pope} and \textit{K. S. Stelle} [see Nucl.\ Phys. B 623, 3--46 (2002; Zbl 1036.83506)], and \textit{V. Apostolov} and \textit{S. Salamon} [Commun. Math. Phys. 246, No. 1, 43--61 (2004; Zbl 1067.53039)], the authors discuss \(G_2\)- and spin(7)-holonomy metrics on torus bundles over noncompact hyper-Kähler manifolds.
