All of Joyce's constructions of compact manifolds with special holonomy are in some sense generalisations of the Kummer construction of a K3 surface. We will begin by reviewing manifolds with special holonomy and the Kummer construction. We will then describe Joyce's constructions of compact manifolds with holonomy G_2 and Spin(7).
