We study the existence of lattices in almost abelian Lie groups that admit left invariant locally conformal K\"ahler or locally conformal symplectic structures in order to obtain compact solvmanifolds equipped with these geometric…

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…

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…

Using certain solutions of the curve shortening flow, including self-shrinking and self-expanding curves or spirals, we construct and characterize many new examples of translating solitons for mean curvature flow in complex Euclidean plane.…

We investigate left-invariant ${\rm G}_2^*$-structures on 7-dimensional Lie groups, focusing on those whose holonomy algebras are indecomposable and of type III, the latter meaning that the socle of the holonomy representation is maximal.…

A study is made of left-invariant $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures with an exact 3-form on a Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ admits a codimension-one nilpotent ideal $\mathfrak{h}$. It is shown that such a Lie group $G$ cannot admit…

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…

This paper is concerned with Chern-Ricci flow evolution of left-invariant hermitian structures on Lie groups. We study the behavior of a solution, as t is approaching the first time singularity, by rescaling in order to prevent collapsing…

This paper studies the Poisson equation for the $G_2$-Laplacian on 3-forms on the 7-sphere that are invariant under a transitive group action. We establish the existence and uniqueness of $G$-invariant solutions for $G=SU(4),\: Spin(7),\:…

We investigate the existence of left-invariant closed G$_2$-structures on seven-dimensional non-solvable Lie groups, providing the first examples of this type. When the Lie algebra has trivial Levi decomposition, we show that such a…
