Due to their explicit construction, Aloff-Wallach spaces are prominent in flux compactifications. They carry G_2-structures and admit the G_2-instanton equations, which are natural BPS equations for Yang-Mills instantons on seven-manifolds…
Spin-motive geometric force acting on electrons in metallic ferromagnets is extended to spin-motive force in magnon BEC, which is represented by phase-coherent precession of magnetization, and to the orbital-motive force in superfluid…
