Title:
Non-compact Spin(7)-manifolds

Speaker:
Fabian Lehmann

Abstract:
In the non-compact setting, symmetry reduction methods can be used to simplify the condition for Spin(7)-holonomy, which in general is given by a large, non-linear, first order PDE system, to a system of ODEs. I will talk about a particular example with symmetry group SU(3). I will outline a rigorous proof for the existence of two families of complete Spin(7)-metrics, where all members are either asymptotically locally conical (ALC), or asymptotically conical (AC).
