Cocalibrated G₂-manifolds with Ricci flat characteristic connection

Any 7-dimensional cocalibrated G_2-manifold admits a unique connection $\nabla$ with skew symmetric torsion. We study these manifolds under the additional condition that the $\nabla$-Ricci tensor vanishes. In particular, we describe their geometry in case of a maximal number of $\nabla$-parallel vector fields.
