Found a new compact G2-structure on a 7-manifold.

We give a method to obtain new 7-dimensional Lie algebras endowed with closed and coclosed G2-structures starting from 6-dimensional Lie algebras with symplectic half- at SU(3)-structures and half- at SU(3)- structures, respectively. Finally, we describe all the 7-dimensional Lie algebras with a closed G2-structure tha…

New spectral invariants distinguish Joyce orbifolds from other manifolds.

We show obstructions to the existence of a coclosed $G_2$-structure on a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ of dimension seven with non-trivial center. In particular, we prove that if there exist a Lie algebra epimorphism from $\mathfrak g$ to a six-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak h$, with kernel contained in the center of $…

The study examines hyperbolic 3-manifolds with uniform spectral gaps for coclosed 1-forms.

This article classifies closed G2-structures such that the induced metric is conformally flat. It is shown that any closed G2-structure with conformally flat metric is locally equivalent to one of three explicit examples. In particular, it follows from the classification that any closed G2-structure inducing a metric t…

Article explores G2-structures with quadratic conditions, finding new ERP and complete solitons.

Among closed G2-structures there are two very distinguished classes: Laplacian solitons and Extremally Ricci-pinched G2-structures. We study the existence problem and explore possible interplays between these concepts in the context of left-invariant G2-structures on solvable Lie groups. Also, some Ricci pinching prope…

We consider non-infinitesimal deformations of G2-structures on 7-dimensional manifolds and derive an exact expression for the torsion of the deformed G2-structure. We then specialize to a case when the deformation is defined by a vector v and we explicitly derive the expressions for the different torsion components of …

Only two examples of extremally Ricci pinched G2-structures can be found in the literature and they are both homogeneous. We study in this paper the existence and structure of such very special closed G2-structures on Lie groups. Strong structural conditions on the Lie algebra are proved to hold. As an application, we …

We study the N=1 supersymmetric solutions of D=11 supergravity obtained as a warped product of four-dimensional anti-de-Sitter space with a seven-dimensional Riemannian manifold M. Using the octonion bundle structure on M we reformulate the Killing spinor equations in terms of sections of the octonion bundle on M. The …

We study the condition in which G2-structures are introduced by a non closed four-form, although they are satisfying locally conformal conditions.All solutions are found in the case when the Lee form of G2-structures is non-zero and gintroduces seven-dimensional Lie algebras, The main results are given in preposition1 …

We overview the properties of non-infinitesimal deformations of G2-structures on seven-manifolds, and in particular, focus on deformations that lie in the seven-dimensional representation of G2 and are thus defined by a vector. We then consider deformations from G2-structures with the torsion class having one-dimension…

Researchers describe $G_2$-structures on $7$-sphere, finding harmonic representatives.

A complete classification of left-invariant closed G2-structures on Lie groups which are extremally Ricci pinched, up to equivalence and scaling, is obtained. There are five of them, they are defined on five different completely solvable Lie groups and the G2-structure is exact in all cases except one, given by the onl…

New perspective on G2-structures flow from DeTurck Laplacian.

We classify all seven-dimensional spaces which admit a homogeneous cosymplectic G2-structure. The motivation for this classification is that each of these spaces is a possible principal orbit of a parallel Spin(7)-manifold of cohomogeneity one.

Geodesic concavity and hypersymplectic structures in $G2$-structures space.

In this paper most of the classes of G2-structures with Einstein induced metric of negative, null or positive scalar curvature are realized. This is carried out by means of warped G2-structures with fiber an Einstein SU(3) manifold. The torsion forms of any warped G2-structure are explicitly described in terms of the t…

We give an answer to a question posed recently by R.Bryant, namely we show that a compact 7-dimensional manifold equipped with a G2-structure with closed fundamental form is Einstein if and only if the Riemannian holonomy of the induced metric is contained in G2. This could be considered to be a G2 analogue of the Gold…

Study conformal Killing forms on specific nilpotent Lie groups.

We give the first examples of closed Laplacian solitons which are shrinking, and in particular produce closed Laplacian flow solutions with a finite-time singularity. Extremally Ricci pinched G2-structures (introduced by Bryant) which are steady Laplacian solitons have also been found. All the examples are left-invaria…

We prove a refined Kato inequality for closed and coclosed differential $(p,q)$ forms on a Kahler manifold.

Flow solves $G_2$ system, proving existence of torsion-free metrics.

We use a G2-structure on a 7-dimensional Riemannian manifold with a fixed metric to define an octonion bundle with a fiberwise non-associative product. We then define a metric-compatible octonion covariant derivative on this bundle that is compatible with the octonion product. The torsion of the G2-structure is then sh…

We introduce coG_2-vector fields, coRochesterian 2-forms and coRochesterian vector fields on manifolds with a coclosed G_2-structure as a continuous of work from [15], and we show that the spaces of coG_2-vector fields and of coRochesterian vector fields are Lie subalgebras of the Lie algebra of vector fields with the …

We modify the Laplacian coflow of co-closed G2-structures - $\frac{d}{dt}ψ=Δψ$ where $ψ$ is the closed dual 4-form of a $G_{2}$-structure $\varphi$. The modified flow is now parabolic in the direction of closed forms upto diffeomorphisms. We then prove short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the modified f…

Derives an integral formula for G2-structures.

We reduce the embedding problem for hypo SU(2) and SU(3)-structures to the embedding problem for hypo G2-structures into parallel Spin(7)-manifolds. The latter will be described in terms of gauge deformations. This description involves the intrinsic torsion of the initial G2-structure and allows us to prove that the ev…

Study 3-Sasakian and G2 structures on manifolds.

Let M be a 7-manifold with a G2-structure defined by φ\inΩ^{3}_{+}(M). We prove that φ is conformal-Killing with respect to the associated metric g(φ) if and only if the G2-structure is nearly parallel. Let M be an 8-manifold with a Spin7-structure defined by ψ\inΩ^{4}_{+}(M). We prove that ψ is conformal-Killing with …

We derive formulas for the mean curvature of associative 3-folds, coassociative 4-folds, and Cayley 4-folds in the general case where the ambient space has intrinsic torsion. Consequently, we are able to characterize those G2-structures (resp., Spin(7)-structures) for which every associative 3-fold (resp. coassociative…

Researchers compute the ν-invariant for specific G2-structures on nilmanifolds.

If M is a riemannian manifold, then the inclusion of the complex of coclosed harmonic forms into the de Rham complex induces a linear isomorphism in cohomology. If M has at most countably many connected components, this linear isomorphism is a Frechet isomorphism.

We construct propose an anzatz for Spin(7) metrics as an R-bundle over closed G2 structures. These G2 structures are R3 bundles over 4-dimensional compact quaternion Kahler spaces. The inspiration for the anzatz metric comes from the Bryant-Salamon construction of G2 holonomy metrics and from the fact that the twistor …

A flow from hypersymplectic to hyperkähler structures is described.

This paper is a review of current developments in the study of moduli spaces of G2 manifolds. G2 manifolds are 7-dimensional manifolds with the exceptional holonomy group G2. Although they are odd-dimensional, in many ways they can be considered as an analogue of Calabi-Yau manifolds in 7 dimensions. They play an impor…
