Abstract
We consider a generalization of eight-dimensional multiply warped product manifolds as a special warped product, by allowing the fiber metric to be non-block diagonal. We define this special warped product as a (3+3+2) warped-like manifold of the form M=FÃB, where the base B is a two-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and the fibre F is of the form F=F1ÃF2 where the Fi(i=1,2) are Riemannian 3-manifolds. We prove that the connection on M is completely determined by the requirement that the Bonan 4-form given in the work of Yasui and Ootsuka [Y. Yasui and T. Ootsuka, Spin(7) holonomy manifold and superconnection, Class. Quantum Gravity 18 (2001) 807-816] be closed. Assuming that the Fi are complete, connected and simply connected, it follows that they are isometric to S3 with constant curvature k>0 and the Yasui-Ootsuka solution is unique in the class of (3+3+2) warped-like product metrics admitting a specific Spin(7) structure.
