Given a G 2 -structure defined on a seven-dimensional manifold, there are many possible ways of making it evolve with the aim of making it torsion-free, easing in turn the search for Riemannian manifolds with holonomy equal to the exceptional Lie group G 2 . Among those evolutions, the so-called isometric flow has the distinctive feature of preserving the underlying metric induced by that G 2 -structure. This flow is built upon the divergence of the full torsion tensor of the flowing G 2 -structures in such a way that its critical points are precisely G 2 -structures with divergence-free full torsion tensor. In this article we study two large families of pairwise nonequivalent non-closed G 2 -structures defined on simply connected solvable Lie groups previously studied in [KL21] and compute the divergence of their full torsion tensor, obtaining that it is identically zero in both cases.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
