Abstract: Consider an oriented four-dimensional Lorentzian manifold $(widetilde{M}^{3,1},widetildeg)$ and an oriented seven-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M^7,g)$. We describe a class of decomposable eleven-dimensional supergravity backgrounds on the product manifold $({mathcalM}^{10,1}=widetilde{M}^{3,1}imes{M}^7,g_{mathcalM}=widetildeg+g)$, endowed with a flux form given in terms of the volume form on $widetilde{M}^{3,1}$ and a closed $4$-form $F^4$ on $M^7$. We show that the Maxwell equation for such a flux form can be read in terms of the co-closed 3-form $phi=sta{r}_7{F}^4$. Moreover, the supergravity equation reduces to the condition that $(widetilde{M}^{3,1},widetildeg)$ is an Einstein manifold with negative Einstein constant and $(M^7,g,F)$ is a Riemannian manifold which satisfies the Einstein equation with a stress-energy tensor associated to the 3-form $phi$. Whenever this 3-form is generic, the Maxwell equation induces a weak ${mG}_2$-structure on $M^7$ and then we obtain decomposable supergravity backgrounds given by the product of a weak ${mG}_2$-manifold $(M^7,phi,g)$ with a Lorentzian Einstein manifold $(widetilde{M}^{3,1},widetildeg)$. We classify homogeneous 7-manifolds $M^7=G/H$ of a compact Lie group $G$ and indicate the cosets which admit an invariant or non-invariant ${mG}_2$-structure, or even no ${mG}_2$-structure. Then we construct examples of compact homogeneous Riemannian 7-manifolds endowed with non-generic invariant 3-forms which satisfy the Maxwell equation, but the construction of decomposable homogeneous supergravity backgrounds of this type remains an open problem.
