Abstract: (Elsevier)
Three distinct geometries on S 7 arise as solutions of the classical equations of motion in eleven dimensions. In addition to the conventional riemannian geometry, one can also obtain the two exceptional Cartan-Schouten compact flat geometries with torsion. Possible implications of these results are mentioned.- SUPERGRAVITY: ELEVEN-DIMENSIONAL
