Closed $G_2$-structures

Abstract: I will review known examples of compact 7-manifolds admitting a closed $G_2$-structure. Moreover, I will discuss some results on the behaviour of the Laplacian $G_2$-flow starting from a closed $G_2$-structure whose induced metric satisfies suitable extra conditions.

Virtual seminar on geometry with symmetries

Series comments: Description: Research seminar in Lie group actions in Riemannian geometry.

The seminar meets every other Wednesday. To accommodate most time zones, the time rotates. The Zoom link is sent to the mailing list around 24 hours before each talk. To subscribe to the mailing list, send a message to geometrywithsymmetries@gmail.com requiring it.
