Solving for Volume-Minimizing Cycles in G2-Manifolds
M-theory, a generalization of string theory, motivates the search for examples of volume minimizing cycles in Riemannian manifolds of G2 holonomy. Methods of calibrated geometry lead to a system of four coupled nonlinear partial differential equations whose solutions correspond to associa- tive subm...
