Geometry and Topology Seminar: Alec Payne, Duke University, The Structure of Shrinking Solutions to G2-Laplacian Flow
In this talk, we will survey G2-structures, which are cross product structures on 7-manifolds, and we will discuss recent developments on a natural geometric flow of G2-structures called Laplacian flow. The Laplacian flow was introduced by Robert Bryant as a tool to explore the geometry of G2-structures on 7-manifolds and to construct examples of G2-holonomy…
