We find new examples of compact Spin(7)-manifolds using a construction of Joyce (J. Differ. Geom., 53:89-130, 1999; Compact manifolds with special holonomy. Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2000). The essential ingredient in Joyce's construction is a CalabiYau 4-orbifold with particular singularities admitting an antiholomorphic involution, which fixes the singularities. We search the class of well-formed quasismooth hypersurfaces in weighted projective spaces for suitable Calabi-Yau 4-orbifolds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
