Abstract: Only two examples of extremally Ricci pinched G2-structures can be found in the literature and they are both homogeneous. We study in this paper the existence and structure of such very special closed G2-structures on Lie groups. Strong structural conditions on the Lie algebra are proved to hold. As an application, we obtain three new examples of extremally Ricci pinched G2-structures and that they are all necessarily steady Laplacian solitons. The deformation and rigidity of such structures are also studied.

Review text

A closed \(G_2\)-structure on a seven-dimensional manifold \(M\) is defined by a positive closed three-form \(\varphi\) on \(M\). If the torsion of a closed \(G_2\)-structure \(\varphi\) given by \[ \tau = -{*}d * \varphi \] satisfies the neat equation \[ d\tau =\frac{1}{6}(|\tau |^2\varphi + *(\tau \wedge \tau )), \] then the manifold is called extremally Ricci pinched (abbreviated as ERP). Only two examples of extremally Ricci pinched \(G_2\)-structures could be found in the published literature and they were both homogeneous. The authors study in this paper the existence of ERP \(G_2\)-structures on Lie groups and give structural conditions on the Lie algebra. They obtain three new examples that are all steady Laplacian solitons. They also study the deformation and rigidity of these structures. These examples are complete and exhaustive thanks to the classification result obtained by the authors in [Ann. Mat. Pura Appl. (4) 199, No. 6, 2489--2510 (2020; Zbl 1451.53066)]. One may wonder why this article does not acknowledge the classification paper [loc. cit.], as both articles are similar in their findings. By comparing the dates of these papers, the result of the classification would have been known before the acceptance of this paper and therefore it could have incorporated the result of the classification, thus reducing duplication of material.
