In this paper we study the evolution of almost non-negatively curved (possibly singular) three dimensional metric spaces by Ricci flow. The non-negatively curved metric spaces which we consider arise as limits of smooth Riemannian manifolds…

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…

We derive the explicit formula for the intrinsic torsion of a ${\rm Spin}(7)$-structure on a $8$--dimensional Riemannian manifold $M$. Here, the intrinsic torsion is a difference of the minimal ${\rm Spin}(7)$--connection and the…

We pursuit the research line proposed in \cite{YZ-Gflat} about the classification of Hermitian manifolds whose $s$-Gauduchon connection $\nabla^s =(1-\frac{s}{2})\nabla^c + \frac{s}{2}\nabla^b$ is flat, where $s \in \mathbb{R}$ and…

We consider $G_2$ structures with torsion coupled with $G_2$-instantons, on a compact $7$-dimensional manifold. The coupling is via an equation for $4$-forms which appears in supergravity and generalized geometry, known as the Bianchi…

Among closed G2-structures there are two very distinguished classes: Laplacian solitons and Extremally Ricci-pinched G2-structures. We study the existence problem and explore possible interplays between these concepts in the context of…

The resolution of the $G_2$-orbifold $T^7/\Gamma$, where $\Gamma$ is a suitably chosen finite group, admits a $1$-parameter family of $G_2$-structures with small torsion $\varphi^t$, obtained by gluing in Eguchi-Hanson spaces. It was shown…
