Abstract

We study the spinorial Killing equation of supergravity involving a torsion 3-form \T\T as well as a flux 4-form \F\F. In dimension seven, we construct explicit families of compact solutions out of 3-Sasakian geometries, nearly parallel \G2\G_2-geometries and on the homogeneous Aloff-Wallach space. The constraint \FΨ=0\F \cdot \Psi = 0 defines a non empty subfamily of solutions. We investigate the constraint \TΨ=0\T \cdot \Psi = 0, too, and show that it singles out a very special choice of numerical parameters in the Killing equation, which can also be justified geometrically.
