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…

If a $Spin(7)$ manifold $N^8$ admits a free $S^1$ action preserving the fundamental $4$-form then the quotient space $M^7$ is naturally endowed with a $G_2$-structure. We derive equations relating the intrinsic torsion of the…

In this article, we construct two continuous 1-parameter family of non-compact $\mathrm{Spin}(7)$ metrics with both chiralities, with the principal orbit an Aloff--Wallach space $N_{k,l}$ and the singular orbit $\mathbb{CP}^2$. For generic…

In conformal geometry, the Compactness Conjecture asserts that the set of Yamabe metrics on a smooth, compact, aspherical Riemannian manifold (M,g) is compact. Established in the locally conformally flat case by Schoen [43,44] and for n\leq…

We introduce spin-harmonic structures, a class of geometric structures on Riemannian manifolds of low dimension which are defined by a harmonic unitary spinor. Such structures are related to SU(2) (dim=4,5), SU(3) (dim=6) and G_2 (dim=7)…

In this paper, we give a method to construct bimetric conformal invarints by the linear metric perturbations and the conformal invarints. And we compute the metric perturbations of the Connes conformal invarints and the conformal Laplacian.…

IAs is well known, when D6 branes wrap a special lagrangian cycle on a non compact CY 3-fold in such a way that the internal string frame metric is Kahler there exists a dual description, which is given in terms of a purely geometrical…

We study Ricci-flat metrics on non-compact manifolds with the exceptional holonomy $Spin(7), G_2$. We concentrate on the metrics which are defined on ${\bf R} \times G/H$. If the homogeneous coset spaces $G/H$ have weak $G_2$, SU(3)…

We consider balanced metrics on complex manifolds with holomorphically trivial canonical bundle, most commonly known as balanced $\rm{SU}(n)$-structures. Such structures are of interest for both Hermitian geometry and string theory, since…

We study smooth fibrations of compact torsion-free Spin(7)-manifolds by Cayley submanifolds. Using geometric and topological constraints coming from the Spin(7)-structure, we show that only two topological configurations can arise. One of…

We construct a consistent set of monopole equations on eight-manifolds with Spin(7) holonomy. These equations are elliptic and admit non-trivial solutions including all the 4-dimensional Seiberg-Witten solutions as a special case.

We put in a general framework the situations in which a Riemannian manifold admits a family of compatible complex structures, including hyperkahler metrics and the Spin-rotations of arxiv:1302.2846. We determine the (polystable) holomorphic…

We investigate the holonomy group of a linear metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion. In case of the euclidian space and a constant torsion form this group is always semisimple. It does not preserve any non-degenerated 2-form or any…

We show through a simple example that perturbations of the Hamiltonian of a spin glass which cannot be detected at the level of the free energy can completely alter the behavior of the overlap. In particular, perturbations of order O(log…

We establish a general analytic and geometric framework for resolving Spin(7)--orbifolds. These spaces arise naturally as boundary points in the moduli space of exceptional holonomy metrics, and smooth Gromov--Hausdorff resolutions can be…

In this note, we propose an extension of the relation between worldsheet global symmetries and structures over moduli spaces of superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to include noninvertible symmetries. The most familiar examples of such…

All candidates to the weakly-irreducible not irreducible holonomy algebras of Lorentzian manifolds are known. In the present paper metrics that realize all these candidates as holonomy algebras are given. This completes the classification…

We investigate the minimal singularities of metrics on a big line bundle $L$ over a projective manifold when the stable base locus $Y$ of $L$ is a submanifold of codimension $r\geq 1$. Under some assumptions on the normal bundle and a…

We use classical obstruction theory \`{a} la Eilenberg-Steenrod to obtain a homotopy classification of $\mathrm{Spin}(7)$-structures on compact $8$-manifolds with abelian fundamental group. As an application, we show that a compact,…

We show how certain diffeomorphism-invariant functionals on differential forms in dimensions 6,7 and 8 generate in a natural way special geometrical structures in these dimensions: metrics of holonomy G2 and Spin(7), metrics with weak…
