We make some general observations about this problem and then study in more detail reductions to 4 and 3 dimensions by imposing symmetry. The 3-dimensional reduction admits a dual variational formulation in terms of solutions of the real Monge-Ampere equation", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-08-04T19:32:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C26" ], "keywords": [ "boundary value problem", "dimensions seven", "exceptional holonomy", "real monge-ampere equation", "dual variational formulation" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
