Abstract

We classify 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, decomposable or of nilpotency step at most 4, endowed with left-invariant purely coclosed G2G_2-structures. This is done by going through the list of all 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras given by Gong, providing an example of a left-invariant 3-form φ\varphi which is a pure coclosed G2G_2-structure (that is, it satisfies dφ=0d*\varphi=0, φdφ=0\varphi \wedge d\varphi=0) for those nilpotent Lie algebras that admit them; and by showing the impossibility of having a purely coclosed G2G_2-structure for the rest of them.
