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 analyse Ricci flow (normalised/un-normalised) of product manifolds --unwarped as well as warped, through a study of generic examples. First, we investigate such flows for the unwarped scenario with manifolds of the type $\mathbb…

A hypersymplectic structure on a 4-manifold $X$ is a triple $\underline{\omega}$ of symplectic forms which at every point span a maximal positive-definite subspace of $\Lambda^2$ for the wedge product. This article is motivated by a…

We modify the Laplacian coflow of co-closed G2-structures - $\frac{d}{dt}\psi =\Delta \psi $ where $\psi $ is the closed dual 4-form of a $G_{2}$-structure $\varphi $. The modified flow is now parabolic in the direction of closed forms upto…
