Closed G$_2$-structures on unimodular Lie algebras with non-trivial center


Abstract in English

We characterize the structure of a seven-dimensional Lie algebra with non-trivial center endowed with a closed G$_2$-structure. Using this result, we classify all unimodular Lie algebras with non-trivial center admitting closed G$_2$-structures, up to isomorphism, and we show that six of them arise as the contactization of a symplectic Lie algebra. Finally, we prove that every semi-algebraic soliton on the contactization of a symplectic Lie algebra must be expanding, and we determine all unimodular Lie algebras with center of dimension at least two that admit semi-algebraic solitons, up to isomorphism.
