Deformations of asymptotically cylindrical coassociative submanifolds with fixed boundary

Dominic Joyce and Sema Salur

Geometry & Topology 9 (2005) 1115–1146

arXiv: math.DG/0408137

Abstract

McLean proved that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a compact coassociative 4–submanifold C in a G2–manifold (M,φ,g) is a smooth manifold of dimension equal to b+2(C). In this paper, we show that the moduli space of coassociative deformations of a noncompact, asymptotically cylindrical coassociative 4–fold C in an asymptotically cylindrical G2–manifold (M,φ,g) is also a smooth manifold. Its dimension is the dimension of the positive subspace of the image of Hcs2(C, ) in H2(C, ).

Keywords
calibrated geometries, asymptotically cylindrical manifolds, $G_2$–manifolds, coassociative submanifolds, elliptic operators.
