Deformation theory of nearly G₂-structures and nearly G₂ instantons
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-30)We study two different deformation theory problems on manifolds with a nearly G₂-structure. The first involves studying the deformation theory of nearly G₂ manifolds. These are seven dimensional manifolds admitting real ... -
Topics in G₂ geometry and geometric flows
(University of Waterloo, 2020-05-15)We study three different problems in this thesis, all related to G₂ structures and geometric flows. In the first problem we study hypersurfaces in a nearly G₂ manifold. We define various quantities associated to such a ...
