We construct calibrated submanifolds in Euclidean space invariant under the action of a Lie group $G$. We first demonstrate the method used in this paper by reproducing the results about special Lagrangians due to Harvey-Lawson. We then…

We find explicit solutions and singularities of the Ricci-harmonic flow of $\mathrm{G_2}$-structures, the Ricci-like flows of $\mathrm{G_2}$-structures studied by Gianniotis-Zacharopoulos in arXiv:2505.06872 (J. Geom. Anal. 36.2 (2026)) and…

Recently, at least 50 million of novel examples of compact $G_2$ holonomy manifolds have been constructed as twisted connected sums of asymptotically cylindrical Calabi-Yau threefolds. The purpose of this paper is to study mirror symmetry…

We show that a 7-dimensional non-compact Ricci-flat Riemannian manifold with Riemannian holonomy G_2 can admit non-integrable G_2 structures of type R + S^2_0(R^7) + R^7 in the sense of Fern\'andez and Gray. This relies on the construction…

Various approaches to T-duality with NSNS three-form flux are reconciled. Non-commutative torus fibrations are shown to be the open-string version of T-folds. The non-geometric T-dual of a three-torus with uniform flux is embedded into a…

We shall obtain unobstructed deformations of four geometric structures: Calabi-Yau, HyperK\"ahler, $\G$ and Spin(7) structures in terms of closed differential forms (calibrations). We develop a direct and unified construction of smooth…

We study the physics of singular limits of $G_2$ compactifications of M-theory, which are necessary to obtain a compactification with non-abelian gauge symmetry or massless charged particles. This is more difficult than for Calabi-Yau…

We construct several new G(2) holonomy metrics that play an important role in recent studies of geometrical transitions in compactifications of M-theory to four dimensions. In type IIA string theory these metrics correspond to D6 branes…

We find general first-order equations for G_2 metrics of cohomogeneity one with S^3\times S^3 principal orbits. These reduce in two special cases to previously-known systems of first-order equations that describe regular asymptotically…
