We decompose linear $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure in canonical ways adapted to 3-dimensional subspaces, in terms of certain natural 1-forms and definite triple of 2-forms, and apply the decompositions to the study of $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure…

In this article we study the relation between flat solvmanifolds and $G_2$-geometry. First, we give a classification of 7-dimensional flat splittable solvmanifolds using the classification of finite subgroups of $\mathsf{GL}(n,\mathbb{Z})$…

We classify 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups, decomposable or of nilpotency step at most 4, endowed with left-invariant purely coclosed $G_2$-structures. This is done by going through the list of all 7-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras…

Using an algebraic orbifold method, we present non-commutative aspects of $G_2$ structure of seven dimensional real manifolds. We first develop and solve the non commutativity parameter constraint equations defining $G_2$ manifold algebras.…

We study the automorphism group of a compact 7-manifold $M$ endowed with a closed non-parallel G$_2$-structure, showing that its identity component is abelian with dimension bounded by min$\{6,b_2(M)\}$. This implies the non-existence of…

We prove that a compact smooth 4-manifold admits generalized complex structures of odd type if and only if it has a transversely holomorphic 2-foliation. Consequently, there exist generalized complex structures of odd type on a circle…

Motivated by analogous results in locally conformal symplectic geometry, we study different classes of G$_2$-structures defined by a locally conformal closed 3-form. In particular, we give a complete characterization of invariant exact…

A study is made of left-invariant $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures with an exact 3-form on a Lie group $G$ whose Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ admits a codimension-one nilpotent ideal $\mathfrak{h}$. It is shown that such a Lie group $G$ cannot admit…

This article is based on a lecture at the Journal of Differential Geometry Conference, Harvard 2017. We discuss closed and torsion-free $G_{2}$-structures on a 7-manifold with boundary, with prescribed $3$-form on the boundary. Much of the…

We construct a compact manifold with a closed $G_2$ structure not admitting any torsion-free $G_2$ structure, which is non-formal and has first Betti number $b_1=1$. We develop a method of resolution for orbifolds that arise as a quotient…

We construct new compact manifolds endowed with closed $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures that satisfy the topological properties found by Joyce and Baraglia for the existence of a torsion-free $\mathrm{G}_2$ structure in the same cohomology class.…

Let $M$ be a $10$-dimensional closed oriented smooth manifold. Set $$\mathcal{D}_{M} := \{ x \in H^{2}(M; \Z/2) \mid x^{2} + w_{2}(M) x \in \rho_{2} ( TH^{4}(M;\Z) ) \}.$$ Suppose that $H_{1}(M;\Z)=0$ and $\mathcal{D}_{M} \subset \rho_{2}(…

A large number of examples of compact $G_2$ manifolds, relevant to supersymmetric compactifications of M-Theory to four dimensions, can be constructed by forming a twisted connected sum of two appropriate building blocks times a circle.…

For seven-dimensional Riemannian manifolds equipped with a $G_2$-structure, we show in a full detailed way that all integral formulas and divergence equations, given by diverse authors, are agree with the ones displayed here in terms of the…

We give an answer to a question posed recently by R.Bryant, namely we show that a compact 7-dimensional manifold equipped with a G2-structure with closed fundamental form is Einstein if and only if the Riemannian holonomy of the induced…

Based on a general formula due to R.Bryant, we work out the topological structure of the space of torsion-free $G_2$-structures generating the same associated Riemannian metric on a compact $7$-manifold. We also identify a corresponding Lie…

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…

We introduce the notion of complex $G_2$ manifold $M_{\mathbb C}$, and complexification of a $G_2$ manifold $M\subset M_{\mathbb C}$. As an application we show the following: If $(Y,s)$ is a closed oriented $3$-manifold with a $Spin^{c}$…

It is still not known whether a hyperbolic 3-manifold admits an angle structure or not. We consider angle structures with area-curvature on triangulated pseudo 3-manifolds M in this article. A suficient and necessary condition for the…

We classify nilmanifolds admitting invariant cocalibrated $G_2$-structures
