Main result

Theorem (F.–Haskins–Nordstrom, 2017)

Let (B, g0, ω0,Ω0) be an asymptotically conical Calabi–Yau 3-foldasymptotic to a Calabi–Yau cone (C, gC) and let M → B be a principalcircle bundle.

Assume that c1(M) = 0 but c1(M) ∪ [ω0] = 0.

Then for every ϵ > 0 sufficiently small there exists an S1–invariantG2–holonomy metric gϵ on M with the following properties.

(M, gϵ) is an ALC manifold: as r → ∞, gϵ = gC + ϵ2θ2∞ + O(r−ν).

(M, gϵ) collapses to (B, g0) with bounded curvature as ϵ → 0:gϵ ∼C k,α g0 + ϵ2θ2 as ϵ → 0.

Main result: comments Only 4 non-trivial examples of simply connected complete non-compact

G2–manifolds are currently known: three asymptotically conical examples due to Bryant–Salamon (1989); an explicit example due to Brandhuber–Gomis–Gubser–Gukov (2001) moving

in a 1-parameter family whose existence was rigorously established byBogoyavlenskaya (2013).

We produce infinitely many new examples.

Non-compact complete examples of manifolds with special holonomy thatcollapse with globally bounded curvature are a new higher-dimensionalphenomenon: the only hyperkahler 4-manifold with a tri-holomorphiccircle action without fixed points is R3 × S1.

Connections to physics: Type IIA String theory compactified on AC CY3-fold (B, ω0,Ω0) with RR 2-form flux dθ satisfying [dθ]∪ [ω0] = 0 as theweak-coupling limit of M theory compactified on an ALC G2–manifold.

Large N duality: duality between Type IIA String theory on thedeformed/resolved conifold with D6-branes/RR fluxes more transparentby passing to M theory (Atiyah–Maldacena–Vafa).

Abelian Hermitian Yang–Mills connections

Start with an AC Calabi–Yau 3-fold (B, ω0,Ω0)

We look for Calabi–Yau monopole on B:

∗dh = dθ ∧ ImΩ0, dθ ∧ ω20 = 0

There is a basic dichotomy: h ≡ 0 and θ is a Hermitian Yang–Mills (HYM) connection (h, θ) has singularities (e.g. Dirac-type singularities along a special

Lagrangian submanifold L ⊂ B)

In this talk we only consider the former case

Moreover, a necessary condition to solve

dRe Ω + 34dh ∧ ReΩ0 + dθ ∧ ω0 = 0

is [dθ] ∪ [ω0] = 0 ∈ H4(B).

Existence of AC CY metric in each Kahler class containing AC metrics(Joyce 2001, van Coevering 2010, Goto 2012, Conlon–Hein 2013)

In order to apply our Theorem we need a circle bundle M → B withc1(M) ∪ [ω0] = 0 ∈ H4(B). There are no solutions for generic [ω0], but a rank–b2(Σ) sublattice of

H2(B;Z) when [ω0] is integral
