A construction of Spin(7)-instantons (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
Spin(7)-instantons are elliptic gauge fields on 8-dimensional Spin(7)-manifolds, which minimize the Yang-Mills action. Analytic properties of Spin(7)-instantons have been studied by Gang Tian and others, but little was known about the existence of examples of Spin(7)-instantons other than an Oxford Ph.D thesis by Christopher Lewis in 1998.
There are two known constructions of compact Spin(7)-manifolds both obtained by Dominic Joyce. The first one begins with a torus orbifold of a special kind with non-isolated singularities. The Spin(7)-manifold is obtained by resolving the singularities with the aid of algebraic geometry techniques. The second one begins with a Calabi-Yau four-orbifold with isolated singular points of a special kind and an anti-holomorphic involution fixing only the singular points. The Spin(7)-manifold is obtained by gluing ALE Spin(7)-manifolds with anti-holomorphic involutions fixing only the origins to each singular point.
Christopher Lewis studied the problem of constructing Spin(7)-instantons on Spin(7)-manifolds coming from Joyce's first construction.
This talk describes a general construction of Spin(7)-instantons on examples of compact Spin(7)-manifolds coming from Joyce's second construction. Starting with certain Hermitian-Einstein connections on the Calabi-Yau four-orbifold and on ALE Spin(7)-manifolds, we glue them together simultaneously with the underlying pieces to make a Spin(7)-instanton on the compact Spin(7)-manifold by Joyce.
