A new construction of compact G2-manifolds by gluing families of Eguchi-Hanson spaces

We give a new construction of compact Riemannian 7-manifolds with holonomy $G_2$. Let $M$ be a torsion-free $G_2$-manifold (which can have holonomy a proper subgroup of $G_2$) such that $M$ admits an involution $\iota$ preserving the $G_2$-structure. Then $M/{\langle \iota \rangle}$ is a $G_2$-orbif...
