Decomposition of forms in $\operatorname{SU}(4)$-manifold

$\DeclareMathOperator\Spin{Spin}\DeclareMathOperator\SU{SU}$Let $(X,\Omega,\omega,J)$ be a manifold with an $\SU(4)$ structure. Since $\SU(4)\subset\Spin(7)$, $X$ also has a $\Spin(7)$-structure. I ...

Is Stenzel's Ricci-flat metric on $T^*\mathbb{CP}^n$ hyperkahler?

In a well-known paper, Stenzel constructed complete Ricci-flat Kahler metrics on the total spaces of cotangent bundles of $S^n$, $\mathbb{RP}^n,$ $\mathbb{CP}^n$, $\mathbb{HP}^n$, and $\mathbb{OP}^2$. ...

Examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds with $\mathbb{T}^2$ symmetry

I want to know if there exists examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds with $\mathbb{T}^2$-invariant $SU(n)$-structure. In particular these actions are both Killing and holomorphic. I am especially ...

Calibrated submanifolds in Spin(7) and Calabi-Yau threefold

Suppose I have a Cayley cycle in a $Spin(7)$ holonomy manifold $M$, i.e. a calibrated submanifold. In the special case that $M=CY_3\times T^2$, is it possible that the Cayley cycle reduces to a Kahler ...

Why Yau's theorem implies the existence of hyperkähler metric on complex symplectic manifolds?

Every expository article on hyperkähler manifolds that I have read states without detailed proof the following fact: It follows from Yau's theorem (i.e. a compact Kähler manifold $M$ with $c_1(M)=0$ ...
