Title:
On families of special holonomy metrics defined by algebraic curvature conditions
Speaker:
Abstract:
There are various methods known now for constructing more-or-less explicit metrics with special holonomy; most of these rely on assumptions of symmetry and/or reduction. Another promising method for constructing special solutions is provided by the strategy of looking for metrics that satisfy algebraic curvature conditions. This method often leads to a study of structure equations that satisfy an overdetermined system of partial differential equations, sometimes involutive sometimes not, and the theory of exterior differential systems is particularly well-suited for analyzing these problems.
