Record: YesLevel: GraduateLanguage: EnglishPrerequisiteLinear algebra, basics of Riemmanian geometryAbstractThe classification of Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy contains two “exceptional” cases: G2 and Spin(7). Manifolds with holonomy contained in G2 or Spin(7) are called G2-manifolds or Spin(7)-manifolds, respectively. In this course, I will introduce various topics of G2 and Spi...
