An overview on strong geometries with torsion (Distinguished lecture 5th anniversary)

Abstract: A strong geometry with torsion is a Riemannian manifold carrying a metric connection with closed skew-symmetric torsion. In the seminar I will first review general properties of metric connections with closed skew-symmetric torsion. Then I will focus on the case of Hermitian manifolds and 7-manifolds endowed with a G_2-structure.
