Abstract
We classify -dimensional Riemannian manifolds carrying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric torsion whose holonomy is contained in , up to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and nearly parallel -structures. This extends and completes the classification initiated by Th. Friedrich in the cocalibrated case. Incidentally, we also obtain the list of geometries with parallel skew-symmetric torsion, up to naturally reductive homogeneous spaces and nearly K\"ahler manifolds.
