What is Harmonic Higgs Bundles and Coassociative ALE Fibrations about?

Inspired by a string duality, we construct a deformation family for $G_2$-orbifolds given as total spaces of coassociative fibrations by ADE singularities over a closed and oriented smooth three-manifold $Q$. The deformations are parametrized by sections of a fiber bundle on $Q$ that can be interpreted as spectral/cameral covers associated to certain Riemannian analogs of Higgs bundles. The spectral cover picture is a unifying framework for several different approaches to coassociative fibrations appearing in the literature. Our construction generalizes, to the context of $G_2$-geometry, a well-known family of ADE-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds whose deformations are parametrized by spectral covers of holomorphic Higgs bundles on its base Riemann surface.
