Complex G₂-manifolds and Seiberg-Witten equations

Abstract: We introduce the notion of complex

G_{2}

manifold

M_{m a t h b b C}

, and complexification of a

G_{2}

manifold

M s u b s e t M_{m a t h b b C}

. As an application we show the following: If

(Y, s)

is a closed oriented

3

-manifold with a

S p i n^{c}

structure, and

(Y, s) s u b s e t (M, v a r p h i)

is an imbedding as an associative submanifold of some

G_{2}

manifold (such imbedding always exists), then the isotropic associative deformations of

Y

in the complexified

G_{2}

manifold

M_{m a t h b b C}

is given by Seiberg-Witten equations.
