Abstract

We propose a new collapsing mechanism for $G_2$-metrics, with the generic region admitting a circle bundle structure over a K3 fibration over a Riemann surface. The adiabatic description involves a weighted version of the maximal submanifold equation. In a local smooth setting we prove the existence of formal power series solutions, and the problem of compactification is discussed at a heuristic level.
