Using the Cartan-Kahler theory, and results on real algebraic structures, we prove two embedding theorems. First, the interior of a smooth, compact 3-manifold may be isometrically embedded into a G_2-manifold as an associative submanifold.…

We construct smooth embeddings of spherical quandles into conjugation quandles of Lie groups, where the ambient Lie groups can be taken to be orthogonal, Spin, or Pin groups. Moreover, in dimensions $1$ and $3$, we compare our embeddings…

We describe the different classes of $\mathrm{Spin(7)}$ structures in terms of spinorial equations. We relate them to the spinorial description of $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures in some geometrical situations. Our approach enables us to analyze…

Let $G$ be an arbitrary (not necessarily isomorphic to a closed subgroup of $\mathrm{GL}(r,\mathbb{C})$) complex Lie group, $U$ a complex manifold and $p:P\to U$ a $\mathcal{C}^\infty$ principal $G$-bundle on $U$. We introduce and study the…
