Abstract

We construct a continuous 1-parameter family of smooth complete Ricci-flat metrics of cohomogeneity one on vector bundles over CP2, HP2 and OP2 with respective principal orbits G / K the Wallach spaces SU(3) / T2, Sp(3) / (Sp(1)Sp(1)Sp(1)) and F4/ Spin (8). Almost all the Ricci-flat metrics constructed have generic holonomy. The only exception is the complete G2 metric discovered in Bryant and Salamon (Duke Math J 58(3):829–850, 1989) and Gibbons et al. (Commun Math Phys 127(3):529–553, 1990). It lies in the interior of the 1-parameter family on ⋀-2CP2. All the Ricci-flat metrics constructed have asymptotically conical limits given by the metric cone over a suitable multiple of the normal Einstein metric on G / K.
