Popis: Abstract A recent theorem of Foscolo-Haskins-Nordström [1] which constructs complete G 2-holonomy orbifolds from circle bundles over Calabi-Yau cones can be utilised to construct and investigate a large class of generalisations of the M-theory flop transition. We see that in many cases a UV perturbative gauge theory appears to have an infrared dual described by a smooth G 2-holonomy background in M-theory. Various physical checks of this proposal are carried out affirmatively.
