This survey expository paper provides a valuable account of recent advances in the study of holonomy. Here the reader will find the historical remarks, information on the holonomy group, \(H\)-structures and torsion, criteria for holonomy in the torsion-free case, classification, pseudo-Riemannian irreducible holonomy in \(\mathbb R^n\), local existence, explicit construction, `classical' non-metric irreducible holonomies, exotic conformal holonomies, exotic symplectic holonomies, twistor methods, exterior differential systems, Poisson construction, Kähler manifolds, special Kähler manifolds, hyper-Kähler manifolds, quaternion Kähler manifolds, \(G_2\) and \(\text{Spin}(7)\) manifolds. Both the Riemannian holonomy (de Rham splitting theorem, non-closed holonomy, compact manifolds with exceptional holonomy, fundamental 3-form) and irreducible case of torsion-free non-metric connections (twistor constructions, Merkulov's generalization, Poisson constructions, algebraic classification, two leftover cases) are considered in detail. Extensive references are added. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00019].
