Abstract: The 7-dimensional link K of a weighted homogeneous hypersurface on the round 9-sphere in mathbbC5 has a nontrivial null Sasakian structure which is contact Calabi-Yau, in many cases. It admits a canonical co-closed mG2-structure varphi induced by the Calabi-Yau 3-orbifold basic geometry. We distinguish these pairs (K,varphi) by the Crowley-Nordstr"om mathbbZ48-valued u invariant, for which we prove odd parity and provide an algorithmic formula. We describe moreover a natural Yang-Mills theory on such spaces, with many important features of the torsion-free case, such as a Chern-Simons formalism and topological energy bounds. In fact compatible mG2-instantons on holomorphic Sasakian bundles over K are exactly the transversely Hermitian Yang-Mills connections. As a proof of principle, we obtain mG2-instantons over the Fermat quintic link from stable bundles over the smooth projective Fermat quintic, thus relating in a concrete example the Donaldson-Thomas theory of the quintic threefold with a conjectural mG2-instanton count.
