Let (M,\psi(t))_{t\in[0, T]} be a solution of the modified Laplacian coflow (1.3) with coclosed G_{2}-structures on a compact 7-dimensional M. We improve Chen's Shi-type estimate [5] for this flow, and then show that (M,\psi(t),g_{\psi}(t))…

We study the existence of left invariant closed $G_2$-structures defining a Ricci soliton metric on simply connected nonabelian nilpotent Lie groups. For each one of these $G_2$-structures, we show long time existence and uniqueness of…

We prove short time existence and uniqueness of solutions to the Laplacian flow for closed $G_2$ structures on a compact manifold $M^7$. The result was claimed in \cite{BryantG2}, but its proof has never appeared.

We prove that torsion-free G_2 structures are (weakly) dynamically stable along the Laplacian flow for closed G_2 structures. More precisely, given a torsion-free G_2 structure $\varphi$ on a compact 7-manifold, the Laplacian flow with…

We apply the general Ansatz in geometric flows on homogeneous spaces proposed by Jorge Lauret for the Laplacian co-flow of invariant $G_2$-structures on a Lie group, finding an explicit soliton on a particular almost Abelian $7$-manifold.

In this paper, it is shown that (with no additional assumptions) on a compact 7-dimensional manifold which admits a $G_2$-structure soliton solutions to the Laplacian flow of R. Bryant can only be shrinking or steady. We also show that the…

We investigate the existence of closed $G_2$-structures which are solitons for the Laplacian flow on nilpotent Lie groups. We obtain that seven of the twelve Lie algebras admitting a closed $G_2$-structure do admit a Laplacian soliton.…

We study the behaviour of the Laplacian flow evolving closed G$_2$-structures on warped products of the form $M^6\times{\mathbb S}^1$, where the base $M^6$ is a compact 6-manifold endowed with an SU(3)-structure. In the general case, we…

We explicitly describe the solution of the G$_2$-Laplacian flow starting from an extremally Ricci-pinched closed G$_2$-structure on a compact 7-manifold and we investigate its properties. In particular, we show that the solution exists for…

In this paper, we prove that if $g(t)$ is a smooth, complete solution to the Ricci flow of uniformly bounded curvature on $M\times[0, \Omega]$, then the correspondence $t\mapsto g(t)$ is real-analytic at each $t_0\in (0, \Omega)$. The…

We consider $G_{2}$-structures on $7$-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 $G_{2}$-structures are…

We use the bracket flow/algebraic soliton approach to study the Laplacian flow of $G_2$-structures and its solitons in the homogeneous case. We prove that any homogeneous Laplacian soliton is equivalent to a semi-algebraic soliton (i.e.\ a…

It is a theorem of S. Bando that if $g(t)$ is a solution to the Ricci flow on a compact manifold $M$, then $(M, g(t))$ is real-analytic for each $t >0$. In this note, we extend his result to smooth solutions on open domains $U\subset M$.

We show the existence of expanding solitons of the G$_2$-Laplacian flow on non-solvable Lie groups, and we give the first example of a steady soliton that is not an extremally Ricci pinched G$_2$-structure.

We consider the Laplacian "co-flow" of $G_2$-structures: $\frac{d}{dt} \psi = - \Delta_d \psi$ where $\psi$ is the dual 4-form of a $G_2$-structure $\phi$ and $\Delta_d$ is the Hodge Laplacian on forms. This flow preserves the condition of…

In this work, we approach the Laplacian coflow of a coclosed $G_2$-structure $\varphi$ using the formulae for the irreducible $G_2$-decomposition of the Hodge Laplacian and the Lie derivative of the Hodge dual $4$-form of $\varphi$. In…

We study the Laplacian flow of a $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure where this latter structure is claimed to be Locally Conformal Parallel. The first examples of long time solutions of this flow with the Locally Conformal Parallel condition are…

We consider the Laplacian coflow of a $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure on warped products of the form $M^7= M^6 \times_f S^1$ with $M^6$ a compact 6-manifold endowed with an $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure. We give an explicit reinterpretation of this…

We develop a general approach to study geometric flows on homogeneous spaces. Our main tool will be a dynamical system defined on the variety of Lie algebras called the bracket flow, which coincides with the original geometric flow after a…

We find explicit solutions of the Laplacian coflow of $G_2-$structures on seven-dimensional almost-abelian Lie groups. Moreover, we construct new examples of solitons for the Laplacian coflow which are not eigenforms of the Laplacian and we…
