Abstract: We classify all cohomogeneity one manifolds with principal orbit Q^111=SU(2)^3/U(1)^2 or M^110=(SU(3) x SU(2))/(SU(2) x U(1)) whose holonomy is contained in Spin(7). Various metrics with different kinds of singular orbits can be constructed by our methods. It turns out that the holonomy of our metrics is automatically SU(4) and that they are asymptotically conical. Moreover, we investigate the smoothness of the metrics at the singular orbit.


The subject of the paper under review are 8-dimensional cohomogeneity-one Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. The author considers the case of manifolds with principal orbits \(Q^{k,l,m}=SU(2)^3/U(1)^2\), \(M^{k,l,0}=(SU(3) \times SU(2))/(SU(2) \times U(1))\) (integers \(k,l,m\) control the embedding of the corresponding subgroups) and whose holonomy group is contained in Spin(7). He proves that only the cases \(Q^{1,1,1}\) and \(M^{1,1,0}\) are possible. On those spaces canonical Spin(7)-structures are considered. In case \(Q^{1,1,1}\), the author proves that the Riemannian metric corresponding to the considered Spin(7)-structure has SU(4)-holonomy, is complete, and asymptotically conical. The underlying manifold \(Q^{1,1,1}\) has singular orbit diffeomorphic to \(S^2 \times S^2 \times S^2\) or \(S^2 \times S^2\). Moreover, this metric is the only smooth metric on \(Q^{1,1,1}\) with the considered Spin(7)-structure and special holonomy group. Analogically, in case \(M^{1,1,0}\), the author also proves that the corresponding Riemannian metric has SU(4)-holonomy, is complete, and asymptotically conical. The underlying manifold \(M^{1,1,0}\) has a singular orbit diffeomorphic to \(\mathbb CP^2 \times S^2\), \(\mathbb C P^2\) or \(S^2\). Moreover, this metric is the only smooth metric on \(M^{1,1,0}\) with a considered Spin(7)-structure and special holonomy group.
