A construction of G2 holonomy spaces with torus symmetry Original Research Article

In the present work the Calderbank–Pedersen description of four-dimensional manifolds with self-dual Weyl tensor is used to obtain examples of quaternionic-Kahler metrics with two commuting isometries. The eigenfunctions of the hyperbolic Laplacian are found by use of Backglund transformations acting over solutions of the Ward monopole equation. The Bryant–Salamon construction of G2 holonomy metrics arising as R3 bundles over quaternionic-Kahler base spaces is applied to this examples to find internal spaces of the M-theory that leads to an N=1 supersymmetry in four dimensions. Type IIA solutions will be obtained too by reduction along one of the isometries. The torus symmetry of the base spaces is extended to the total ones.
