Abstract
We calculate explicitly the Betti numbers of a class of barely G2 manifolds - that is, G2 manifolds that are realised as a product of a Calabi-Yau manifold and a circle, modulo an involution. The particular class which we consider are those spaces where the Calabi-Yau manifolds are complete intersections of hypersurfaces in products of complex projective spaces and the involutions are free acting.
