$G_2$–instantons over asymptotically cylindrical manifolds

Henrique N Sá Earp

Geometry & Topology 19 (2015) 61–111
Abstract

A concrete model for a 7–dimensional gauge theory under special holonomy is proposed, within the paradigm of Donaldson and Thomas, over the asymptotically cylindrical G2–manifolds provided by Kovalev’s solution to a noncompact version of the Calabi conjecture.

One obtains a solution to the G2–instanton equation from the associated Hermitian Yang–Mills problem, to which the methods of Simpson et al are applied, subject to a crucial asymptotic stability assumption over the “boundary at infinity”.
