Closed \mathrm{G}_2-eigenforms and exact \mathrm{G}_2-structures

Abstract: A study is made of left-invariant

m a t h r m G_{2}

-structures with an exact 3-form on a Lie group

G

whose Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k g

admits a codimension-one nilpotent ideal

m a t h f r a k h

. It is shown that such a Lie group

G

cannot admit a left-invariant closed

m a t h r m G_{2}

-eigenform for the Laplacian and that any compact solvmanifold

arising from

G

does not admit an (invariant) exact

m a t h r m G_{2}

-structure. We also classify the seven-dimensional Lie algebras

m a t h f r a k g

with codimension-one ideal equal to the complex Heisenberg Lie algebra which admit exact

m a t h r m G_{2}

-structures with or without special torsion. To achieve these goals, we first determine the six-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebras

m a t h f r a k h

admitting an exact

m a t h r m S L (3, m a t h b b C)

-structure

h o

or a half-flat

m a t h r m S U (3)

-structure

(o m e g a, h o)

with exact

h o

, respectively.
