Explicit soliton for the Laplacian co-flow on a solvmanifold

São Paulo Journal of Mathematical Sciences (2019)Cite this article

Abstract

We apply the general Ansatz proposed by Lauret (Rend Semin Mat Torino 74:55–93, 2016) for the Laplacian co-flow of invariant \(\mathrm {G}_2\)-structures on a Lie group, finding an explicit soliton on a particular almost Abelian 7–manifold. Our methods and the example itself are different from those presented by Bagaglini and Fino (Ann Mat Pura Appl 197(6):1855–1873, 2018).
