Motivated by analogous results in locally conformal symplectic geometry, we study different classes of G$_2$-structures defined by a locally conformal closed 3-form. In particular, we give a complete characterization of invariant exact…
A new structure, based on joining copies of a group by means of a \emph{twist}, has recently been considered to describe the brackets of the two exceptional real Lie algebras of type $G_2$ in a highly symmetric way. In this work we show…
We consider seven-dimensional unimodular Lie algebras $\mathfrak{g}$ admitting exact $G_2$-structures, focusing our attention on those with vanishing third Betti number $b_3(\mathfrak{g})$. We discuss some examples, both in the case when…
A new highly symmetrical model of the compact Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}^c_2$ is provided as a twisted ring group for the group $\mathbb{Z}_2^3$ and the ring $\mathbb{R}\oplus\mathbb{R}$. The model is self-contained and can be used without…
This paper provides a study of algebraic Ricci solitons in the pseudo-Riemannian case. In the Riemannian case, all nontrivial homogeneous algebraic Ricci solitons are expanding algebraic Ricci solitons. In this paper, we obtain a steady…
In this paper, we study the rigidity of eigenvalues of shring Ricci solitons. It is known that the drifted Laplacian on shrinking Ricci solitons has discrete spectrum, its eigenvalues have a lower bound and a rigidity result holds. Firstly,…
This article studies closed G2-structures satisfying the quadratic condition, a second-order PDE system introduced by Bryant involving a parameter $\lambda.$ For certain special values of $\lambda$ the quadratic condition is equivalent to…
We show that $S^2\times S^2$ is isolated as a shrinking Ricci soliton in the space of metrics, up to scaling and diffeomorphism. We also prove the same rigidity for $S^2\times N$, where $N$ belongs to a certain class of closed Einstein…
In this note we classify all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ admitting a $G$-invariant $G_2$-structure, assuming that $G$ is a compact Lie group and $G$ acts effectively on $G/H$. They include a subclass of all homogeneous spaces $G/H$ with a…
Ricci-like solitons with potential Reeb vector field are introduced and studied on almost contact B-metric manifolds. The cases of Sasaki-like manifolds and torse-forming potentials have been considered. In these cases, it is proved that…
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 study the properties of Ricci curvature of ${\mathfrak{g}}$-manifolds with particular attention paid to higher dimensional abelian Lie algebra case. The relations between Ricci curvature of the manifold and the Ricci curvature of the…
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 study existence problems for closed $G_2$-structures with negative Ricci curvature, and we prove the $G_2$-Goldberg conjecture for noncompact manifolds. We first show that no closed manifold admits a closed $G_2$-structure with negative…
We describe the structure of the Ricci tensor on a locally homogeneous Lorentzian gradient Ricci soliton. In the non-steady case, we show the soliton is rigid in dimensions three and four. In the steady case, we give a complete…
We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…
In this paper, an obstruction against the integrability of certain infinitesimal solitonic deformations is given. Using this obstruction, we show that the complex projective spaces of even complex dimension are rigid as Ricci solitons…
We give an answer to a question posed recently by R.Bryant, namely we show that a compact 7-dimensional manifold equipped with a G2-structure with closed fundamental form is Einstein if and only if the Riemannian holonomy of the induced…
We characterize the structure of a seven-dimensional Lie algebra with non-trivial center endowed with a closed G$_2$-structure. Using this result, we classify all unimodular Lie algebras with non-trivial center admitting closed…
