  1. On the rigidity of special and exceptional geometries with torsion a closed $3$-form

    math.DG 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Riemannian manifolds with a closed parallel torsion 3-form are locally N × G (G semisimple), enabling simplified proofs and explicit classification of strong G2, Spin(7), and certain 8D HKT manifolds.

  2. Associative submanifolds in twisted connected sum $G_2$-manifolds

    math.DG 2022-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A gluing theorem for ACyl associative submanifolds produces closed rigid associatives in twisted connected sum G2-manifolds with topologies S^3, RP^3 and RP^3#RP^3.
