Generalised Chern-Simons theory and G₂-instantons over associative fibrations

From MaRDI portal
Publication:401279



Abstract: Adjusting conventional Chern-Simons theory to mG2-manifolds, one describes mG2-instantons on bundles over a certain class of 7-dimensional flat tori which fiber non-trivially over T4, by a pullback argument. Moreover, if c2eq0, any (generic) deformation of the mG2-structure away from such a fibred structure causes all instantons to vanish. A brief investigation in the general context of (conformally compatible) associative fibrations f:Y7oX4 relates mG2-instantons on pullback bundles f∗EoY and self-dual connections on the bundle EoX over the base, a fact which may be of independent interest.
