We describe the $10$-dimensional space of $Sp(2)$-invariant $G_2$-structures on the homogeneous $7$-sphere $S^7=Sp(2)/Sp(1)$ as $mathbb{R}^+times Gl^+(3,mathbb{R})$. In those terms, we formulate a general Ansatz for $G_2$-structures, which realises representatives in each of the $7$ possible isometric classes of homogeneous $G_2$-structures. Moreover, the well-known nearly parallel round and squashed metrics occur naturally as opposite poles in an $S^3$-family, the equator of which is a new $S^2$-family of coclosed $G_2$-structures satisfying the harmonicity condition $div T=0$. We show general existence of harmonic representatives of $G_2$-structures in each isometric class through explicit solutions of the associated flow and describe the qualitative behaviour of the flow. We study the stability of the Dirichlet gradient flow near these critical points, showing explicit examples of degenerate and nondegenerate local maxima and minima, at various regimes of the general Ansatz. Finally, for metrics outside of the Ansatz, we identify families of harmonic $G_2$-structures, prove long-time existence of the flow and study the stability properties of some well-chosen examples.

We consider $G_2$ structures with torsion coupled with $G_2$-instantons, on a compact $7$-dimensional manifold. The coupling is via an equation for $4$-forms which appears in supergravity and generalized geometry, known as the Bianchi identity. The r
esulting system of partial differential equations can be regarded as an analogue of the Strominger system in $7$-dimensions. We initiate the study of the moduli space of solutions and show that it is finite dimensional using elliptic operator theory. We also relate the associated geometric structures to generalized geometry.
We formulate and study the isometric flow of $mathrm{Spin}(7)$-structures on compact $8$-manifolds, as an instance of the harmonic flow of geometric structures. Starting from a general perspective, we establish Shi-type estimates and a correspondence
between harmonic solitons and self-similar solutions for arbitrary isometric flows of $H$-structures. We then specialise to $H=mathrm{Spin}(7)subsetmathrm{SO}(8)$, obtaining conditions for long-time existence, via a monotonicity formula along the flow, which actually leads to an $varepsilon$-regularity theorem. Moreover, we prove Cheeger--Gromov and Hamilton-type compactness theorems for the solutions of the harmonic flow, and we characterise Type-$mathrm{I}$ singularities as being modelled on shrinking solitons.We also establish a Bryant-type description of isometric $mathrm{Spin}(7)$-structures, based on squares of spinors, which may be of independent interest.
We define and study natural $mathrm{SU}(2)$-structures, in the sense of Conti-Salamon, on the total space $cal S$ of the tangent sphere bundle of any given oriented Riemannian 3-manifold $M$. We recur to a fundamental exterior differential system of
Riemannian geometry. Essentially, two types of structures arise: the contact-hypo and the non-contact and, for each, we study the conditions for being hypo, nearly-hypo or double-hypo. We discover new double-hypo structures on $S^3times S^2$, of which the well-known Sasaki-Einstein are a particular case. Hyperbolic geometry examples also appear. In the search of the associated metrics, we find a theorem, useful for explicitly determining the metric, which applies to all $mathrm{SU}(2)$-structures in general. Within our application to tangent sphere bundles, we discover a whole new class of metrics specific to 3d-geometry. The evolution equations of Conti-Salamon are considered; leading to a new integrable $mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure on ${cal S}timesmathbb{R}_+$ associated to any flat $M$.
We prove the hypersymplectic flow of simple type on standard torus $mathbb{T}^4$ exists for all time and converges to the standard flat structure modulo diffeomorphisms. This result in particular gives the first example of a cohomogeneity-one $G_2$-L
aplacian flow on a compact $7$-manifold which exists for all time and converges to a torsion-free $G_2$ structure modulo diffeomorphisms.
We consider seven-dimensional unimodular Lie algebras $mathfrak{g}$ admitting exact $G_2$-structures, focusing our attention on those with vanishing third Betti number $b_3(mathfrak{g})$. We discuss some examples, both in the case when $b_2(mathfrak{
g}) eq0$, and in the case when the Lie algebra $mathfrak{g}$ is (2,3)-trivial, i.e., when both $b_2(mathfrak{g})$ and $b_3(mathfrak{g})$ vanish. These examples are solvable, as $b_3(mathfrak{g})=0$, but they are not strongly unimodular, a necessary condition for the existence of lattices on the simply connected Lie group corresponding to $mathfrak{g}$. More generally, we prove that any seven-dimensional (2,3)-trivial strongly unimodular Lie algebra does not admit any exact $G_2$-structure. From this, it follows that there are no compact examples of the form $(Gammabackslash G,varphi)$, where $G$ is a seven-dimensional simply connected Lie group with (2,3)-trivial Lie algebra, $Gammasubset G$ is a co-compact discrete subgroup, and $varphi$ is an exact $G_2$-structure on $Gammabackslash G$ induced by a left-invariant one on $G$.
