Nonembedding and nonextension results in special holonomy

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

Constructions of metrics with special holonomy by methods of exterior differential systems are reviewed and the interpretations of these construction as `flows' on hypersurface geometries are considered. It is shown that these hypersurface 'flows' are not generally well-posed for smooth initial data and counterexamples to existence are constructed.
