The Riemannian curvature identities for the torsion connection on $Spin(7)$-manifold and generalized Ricci solitons (2307.06438v3)

Published 11 Jul 2023 in math.DG and hep-th

Abstract: Curvature properties of the characteristic connection on an integrable $G_2$ space are investigated. It is proved that an integrable $G_2$ manifold has closed torsion if and only if the Ricci tensor of the characteristic connection is equal to the covariant derivative of the Lee form and in this case the integrable $G_2$ structure is of constant type. It is shown, that a compact integrable $G_2$ manifold with closed torsion is Ricci flat if and only if either the norm of the torsion is constant or the Riemannian scalar curvature is constant. It is observed that any compact integrable $G_2$ manifold with closed torsion 3-form is a generalized gradient Ricci soliton and this is equivalent to a certain vector field to be parallel with respect to the torsion connection. In particular, this vector field is an infinitesimal authomorphism of the $G_2$ strucure. Compact examples with bi-$G_2$ structures or generalized integrable $G_2$ manifolds are given. It is shown that on an integrable $G_2$ space of constant type the curvature of the characteristic connection $R\in S2\Lambda2$ with vanishing Ricci tensor if and only if the three-form torsion is parallel with respect to the Levi-Civita and to the characteristic connection simultaneously. In particular, the conditions $R\in S2\Lambda2, Ric=0$ are equivalent to the condition that the curvature of the characteristic connection satisfies the Riemannian first Bianchi identity. In this case the torsion 3-form is harmonic.
