${\mathrm G}_2$-structures with parallel skew-symmetric torsion

Differential Geometry 2026-04-08 v2

Abstract

We classify 77-dimensional Riemannian manifolds carrying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric torsion whose holonomy is contained in G2\mathrm{G}_2, up to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and nearly parallel G2\mathrm{G}_2-structures. This extends and completes the classification initiated by Th. Friedrich in the cocalibrated case. Incidentally, we also obtain the list of SU(3)\mathrm{SU}(3) geometries with parallel skew-symmetric torsion, up to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and nearly K\"ahler manifolds.
