JOURNAL ARTICLE

There is a rich theory of so-called (strict) nearly Kaehler manifolds,almost-Hermitian manifolds generalising the famous almost complex structure onthe 6-sphere induced by octonionic multiplication. Nearly Kaehler 6-manifoldsplay a distinguished role both in the general structure theory and also becauseof their connection with singular spaces with holonomy group the compactexceptional Lie group G2: the metric cone over a Riemannian 6-manifold M hasholonomy contained in G2 if and only if M is a nearly Kaehler 6-manifold. A central problem in the field has been the absence of any completeinhomogeneous examples. We prove the existence of the first completeinhomogeneous nearly Kaehler 6-manifolds by proving the existence of at leastone cohomogeneity one nearly Kaehler structure on the 6-sphere and on theproduct of a pair of 3-spheres. We conjecture that these are the only simplyconnected (inhomogeneous) cohomogeneity one nearly Kaehler structures in sixdimensions.

Haskins M, Kapouleas N, 2010, Twisted products and $SO(p)\times SO(q)$-invariant special Lagrangian cones

We construct $\sorth{p} \times \sorth{q}$-invariant special Lagrangian (SL)cones in $\C^{p+q}$. These SL cones are natural higher-dimensional analogues ofthe $\sorth{2}$-invariant SL cones constructed previously by MH and used in ourgluing constructions of higher genus SL cones in $\C^{3}$. We study in detailthe geometry of these $\sorth{p}\times \sorth{q}$-invariant SL cones, inpreparation for their application to our higher dimensional special Legendriangluing constructions. In particular the symmetries of these cones and theirasymptotics near the spherical limit are analysed. All $\sorth{p} \times\sorth{q}$-invariant SL cones arise from a more general construction ofindependent interest which we call the special Legendrian twisted productconstruction. Using this twisted product construction and simple variants of itwe can construct a constellation of new special Lagrangian and Hamiltonianstationary cones in $\C^{n}$. We prove the following theorems: A. there areinfinitely many topological types of special Lagrangian and Hamiltonianstationary cones in $\C^{n}$ for all $n\ge 4$, B. for $n\ge 4$ specialLagrangian and Hamiltonian stationary torus cones in $\C^{n}$ can occur incontinuous families of arbitrarily high dimension and C. for $n\ge 6$ there areinfinitely many topological types of special Lagrangian and Hamiltonianstationary cones in $\C^{n}$ that can occur in continuous families ofarbitrarily high dimension.

Haskins M, Speight JM, 2002, Breather initial profiles in chains of weakly coupled anharmonic oscillators, Phys. Lett. A., Vol: 299, Pages: 549-557

A systematic correlation between the initial profile of discrete breathersand their frequency is described. The context is that of a very weaklyharmonically coupled chain of softly anharmonic oscillators. The results arestructurally stable, that is, robust under changes of the on-site potential andare illustrated numerically for several standard choices. A precise genericitytheorem for the results is proved.

Foscolo L, Haskins M, Nordström J, Infinitely many new families of complete cohomogeneity one G_2-manifolds: G_2 analogues of the Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hanson spaces

We construct infinitely many new 1-parameter families of simply connectedcomplete noncompact G_2-manifolds with controlled geometry at infinity. Thegeneric member of each family has so-called asymptotically locally conical(ALC) geometry. However, the nature of the asymptotic geometry changes at twospecial parameter values: at one special value we obtain a unique member ofeach family with asymptotically conical (AC) geometry; on approach to the otherspecial parameter value the family of metrics collapses to an AC Calabi-Yau3-fold. Our infinitely many new diffeomorphism types of AC G_2-manifolds areparticularly noteworthy: previously the three examples constructed by Bryantand Salamon in 1989 furnished the only known simply connected AC G_2-manifolds. We also construct a closely related conically singular G_2 holonomy space:away from a single isolated conical singularity, where the geometry becomesasymptotic to the G_2-cone over the standard nearly Kaehler structure on theproduct of a pair of 3-spheres, the metric is smooth and it has ALC geometry atinfinity. We argue that this conically singular ALC G_2-space is the naturalG_2 analogue of the Taub-NUT metric in 4-dimensional hyperKaehler geometry andthat our new AC G_2-metrics are all analogues of the Eguchi-Hanson metric, thesimplest ALE hyperKaehler manifold. Like the Taub-NUT and Eguchi-Hansonmetrics, all our examples are cohomogeneity one, i.e. they admit an isometricLie group action whose generic orbit has codimension one.

Foscolo L, Haskins M, Nordström J, Complete non-compact G2-manifolds from asymptotically conical Calabi-Yau 3-folds

We develop a powerful new analytic method to construct complete non-compactG2-manifolds, i.e. Riemannian 7-manifolds (M,g) whose holonomy group is thecompact exceptional Lie group G2. Our construction starts with a completenon-compact asymptotically conical Calabi-Yau 3-fold B and a circle bundle Mover B satisfying a necessary topological condition. Our method then produces a1-parameter family of circle-invariant complete G2-metrics on M that collapsesto the original Calabi-Yau metric on the base B as the parameter converges to0. The G2-metrics we construct have controlled asymptotic geometry at infinity,so-called asymptotically locally conical (ALC) metrics, and are the naturalhigher-dimensional analogues of the ALF metrics that are well known in4-dimensional hyperk\"ahler geometry. We give two illustrations of the strengthof our method. Firstly we use it to construct infinitely many diffeomorphismtypes of complete non-compact simply connected G2-manifolds; previously only ahandful of such diffeomorphism types was known. Secondly we use it to prove theexistence of continuous families of complete non-compact G2-metrics ofarbitrarily high dimension; previously only rigid or 1-parameter families ofcomplete non-compact G2-metrics were known.
