Coassociative submanifolds in Joyce's generalised Kummer constructions

This article constructs coassociative submanifolds in $\mathrm{G}_2$-manifolds arising from Joyce’s generalised Kummer construction. The novelty compared to previous constructions is that these submanifolds all lie within the critical region of the $\mathrm{G}_2$-manifold in which the metric degenerates. This forces the volume of the coassociatives to shrink to zero when the orbifold-limit is approached.
