We apply the method of linear perturbations to the case of Spin(7)-structures, showing that the only nontrivial perturbations are those determined by a rank one nilpotent matrix. We consider linear perturbations of the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spin bundle over S4 that retain invariance under the action of Sp(2), showing that the metrics obtained in this way are isometric.

Abstract
We apply the method of linear perturbations to the case of Spin(7)-structures, showing that the only nontrivial perturbations are those determined by a rank one nilpotent matrix. We consider linear perturbations of the Bryant-Salamon metric on the spin bundle over S4 that retain invariance under the action of Sp(2), showing that the metrics obtained in this way are isometric.File in questo prodotto:
