In this note we construct a first example of a closed 3-form of G~2\tilde G_2-type on S3×S4S^3\times S^4. We prove that S3×S4S^3\times S^4 does not admit a homogeneous 3-form of G~2\tilde G_2-type. Thus our example is a first example of a closed 3-form of G~2\tilde G_2-type on a compact 7-manifold which is not stably homogeneou…
