Abstract

A construction is introduced for modifying hyperkähler manifolds with tri-Hamiltonian circle action, that in favourable situations increases the second Betti number by one. This is based on the symplectic cut construction of Lerman. In 4 or 8 dimensions the construction may be interpreted as adding a D6-brane. A number of examples are given and a generalisation to three-Sasaki geometry discussed.
