On the Diversity of Linguistic Data and the Integration of the Language Sciences

Restricted Global Grammar Constraints [PDF]

A new construction of compact torsion-free $G_2$-manifolds by gluing families of Eguchi-Hanson spaces

open access: yes, 2020
We give a new construction of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy $G_2$. Let $M$ be a torsion-free $G_2$-manifold (which can have holonomy a proper subgroup of $G_2$) such that $M$ admits an involution $\iota$ preserving the $G_2$-structure ...
