Abstract

We consider G2G_{2}-structures on 77-manifolds that are warped products of an interval and a six-manifold, which is either a Calabi-Yau manifold, or a nearly K\"{a}hler manifold. We show that in these cases the G2G_{2}-structures are determined by their torsion components up to a phase factor. We then study the modified Laplacian coflow dψdt=Δψψ+2d((CTrT)φ)\frac{d\psi }{dt}=\Delta _{\psi }\psi +2d\left( \left( C-Tr T\right) \varphi \right) of these G2G_{2}-structures, where φ\varphi and ψ\psi are the fundamental 33-form and 44 -form which define the G2G_{2}-structure and Δψ\Delta _{\psi } is the Hodge Laplacian associated with the G2G_{2}-structure. This flow is known to have short-time existence and uniqueness. We analyse the soliton equations for this flow and obtain new compact soliton solutions.
