Metric connections with parallel skew-symmetric torsion (Q2219324)

This paper is devoted to the study of geometries with parallel skew-symmetric torsion. Such geometry is a Riemannian manifold carrying a metric connection with parallel skew-symmetric torsion. Beside the trivial case of Levi-Civita connection, there are many other examples of such geometries. In [the first author and \textit{A. Swann}, Math. Z. 247, No. 3, 513--528 (2004; Zbl 1069.53041)] the classification of metric connections with parallel torsion and irreducible holonomy representation is presented. The main result of the present paper is the classification in the case of connections with parallel skew-symmetric torsion whose holonomy representation is reducible.
