## Abstract At the leading order, Mβtheory admits minimal supersymmetric compactifications if the internal manifold has exceptional holonomy. The inclusion of nonβvanishing fluxes in Mβtheory and string theory compactifications induce a superpotential in the lower dimensional theory, which depends

We construct new explicit non-singular metrics that are complete on non-compact Riemannian 8-manifolds with holonomy Spin(7). One such metric, which we denote by A 8 , is complete and non-singular on R 8 . The other complete metrics are defined on manifolds with the topology of the bundle of chiral
In this paper, we look for metrics of cohomogeneity one in D = 8 and D = 7 dimensions with Spin(7) and G 2 holonomy, respectively. In D = 8, we first consider the case of principal orbits that are S 7 , viewed as an S 3 bundle over S 4 with triaxial squashing of the S 3 fibres. This gives a more gen
