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…
Interest in Riemannian manifolds with holonomy equal to the exceptional Lie group $\mathrm{G}_2$ have spurred extensive research in geometric flows of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures defined on seven-dimensional manifolds in recent years. Among…
We classify 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, decomposable or of nilpotency step at most 4, endowed with left-invariant purely coclosed $G_2$-structures. This is done by going through the list of all 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras…
Only two examples of extremally Ricci pinched G2-structures can be found in the literature and they are both homogeneous. We study in this paper the existence and structure of such very special closed G2-structures on Lie groups. Strong…
We study the asymptotic behavior of the pluriclosed flow in the case of left-invariant Hermitian structures on Lie groups. We prove that solutions on 2-step nilpotent Lie groups and on almost-abelian Lie groups converge, after a suitable…
The Laplacian flow is a geometric flow introduced by Bryant as a way for finding torsion free $G_2$-structures. If the flow is $S^1$-invariant then it descends to a flow of $SU(3)$-structures on a $6$-manifold. In this article we derive…
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 study the positive Hermitian curvature flow of left-invariant metrics on complex 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. In this setting we completely characterize the long-time behaviour of the flow, showing that normalized solutions to the flow…
We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow for left-invariant metrics on $2$-step nilpotent Lie groups with a left-invariant complex structure $J$. We describe the long-time behavior of the flow under the assumption that…
The local generality of the space of solitons for the Laplacian flow of closed $G_2$-structures is analyzed, and it is shown that the germs of such structures depend, up to diffeomorphism, on 16 functions of 6 variables (in the sense of E.…
We consider the existence of cohomogeneity one solitons for the isometric flow of $G_2$-structures on the following classes of torsion-free $G_2$-manifolds: the Euclidean $R^7$ with its standard $G_2$-structure, metric cylinders over…
We investigate the algebraic structure of complex Lie groups equipped with left-invariant metrics which are expanding semi-algebraic solitons to the Hermitian curvature flow (HCF). We show that the Lie algebras of such Lie groups decompose…
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 define solitons for the generalized Ricci flow on an exact Courant algebroid, building on the definitions of M. Garcia-Fernandez and J. Streets. We then define a family of flows for left-invariant Dorfman brackets on an exact Courant…
This paper completes the classification of seven-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups endowed with a left-invariant purely coclosed $\text{G}_2$-structure, initiated by the first-named author and collaborators. In this previous work, the…
We study the positive Hermitian curvature flow on the space of left-invariant metrics on complex Lie groups. We show that in the nilpotent case, the flow exists for all positive times and subconverges in the Cheeger-Gromov sense to a…
We study left-invariant generalized K\"ahler structures on almost abelian Lie groups, i.e., on solvable Lie groups with a codimension-one abelian normal subgroup. In particular, we classify six-dimensional almost abelian Lie groups which…
We initiate a systematic study of cohomogeneity-one solitons in Bryant's Laplacian flow of closed G_2-structures on a 7-manifold, motivated by the problem of understanding finite-time singularities of that flow. Here we focus on solitons…
We show obstructions to the existence of a coclosed $G_2$-structure on a Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ of dimension seven with non-trivial center. In particular, we prove that if there exist a Lie algebra epimorphism from $\mathfrak g$ to a…
We prove short time existence and uniqueness of the Laplacian flow starting at an arbitrary closed $G_2$-structure. We establish long time existence and convergence of the Laplacian flow starting near a torsion-free $G_2$-structure. We…
