Abstract

We study the moduli space of M-theories compactified on G₂ manifolds which are asymptotic to a cone over quotients of S³ × S³. We show that the moduli space is composed of several components, each of which interpolates smoothly among various classical limits corresponding to low energy gauge theories with a given number of massless U (1) factors. Each component smoothly interpolates among supersymmetric gauge theories with different gauge groups.
