Toric geometry of $\mathrm{G}_2$–manifolds

Thomas Bruun Madsen and Andrew Swann

Geometry & Topology 23 (2019) 3459–3500
Abstract

We consider G2–manifolds with an effective torus action that is multi-Hamiltonian for one or more of the defining forms. The case of T3–actions is found to be distinguished. For such actions multi-Hamiltonian with respect to both the three- and four-form, we derive a Gibbons–Hawking type ansatz giving the geometry on an open dense set in terms a symmetric 3 × 3 matrix of functions. This leads to particularly simple examples of explicit metrics with holonomy equal to G2. We prove that the multimoment maps exhibit the full orbit space topologically as a smooth four-manifold containing a trivalent graph as the image of the set of special orbits and describe these graphs in some complete examples.
