Abstract
Noncompact G 2 holonomy metrics that arise from a T 2 bundle over a hyperKähler space are constructed These are one parameter deformations of certain metrics studied by Gibbons Lü Pope and Stelle in 1 Sevendimensional spaces with G 2 holonomy fibered over the TaubNut and the EguchiHanson gravitational instantons are found together with other examples By using the ApostolovSalamon theorem 2 we construct a new example that still being a T 2 bundle over hyperKähler represents a nontrivial two parameter deformation of the metrics studied in 1 We then review the Spin7 metrics arising from a T 3 bundle over a hyperKähler and we find a two parameter deformation of such spaces as well We show that if the hyperKähler base satisfies certain properties a nontrivial three parameter deformation is also possible The relation between these spaces with halfflat and almost G 2 holonomy structures is briefly discussed
