The canonical symmetry reduction of string backgrounds
Aaron Kennon, Jeffrey Streets
String backgrounds, defined here as metric connections with skew-symmetric torsion and reduced holonomy, yield generalized Ricci solitons relative to the Lee vector field. By a var…

Remarks on Exact G-Structures on Compact Manifolds
Aaron Kennon
An important open question in G geometry concerns whether or not a compact seven-manifold can support an exact G-Structure. Given the significance of this question we i…

G-Manifolds and M-Theory Compactifications
Aaron Kennon
The mathematical features of a string theory compactification determine the physics of the effective four-dimensional theory. For this reason, understanding the mathematical struct…
