Nearly Parallel $\mathrm{G}_{2}$-Structures with Torus Symmetry

Differential Geometry 2026-05-18 v2

Abstract

We study nearly parallel G2\mathrm{G}_{2}-structures with a three-torus symmetry via multi-moment map techniques. An effective three-torus action on a nearly parallel G2\mathrm{G}_{2}-manifold yields a multi-moment map. The torus acts freely on its regular level sets, so they are torus bundles over smooth three-dimensional manifolds. We show that the geometry of the base spaces is specified by two triples of closed two-forms related by a Riemannian metric. We then describe an inverse construction producing invariant nearly parallel G2\mathrm{G}_{2}-structures from three-dimensional data. We observe that locally this may produce examples with four-torus symmetry.
