(HoRSe seminar at Imperial college) Gauge theory and exceptional holonomy
This talk will review material, well-known to specialists, on calibrated geometry and Yang-Mills theory over manifolds with holonomy $ SU(3) $, $ G_2 $ or $ Spin(7) $. We will also describe extensions of the standard set-up, modelled on Gromov's "taming forms" for almost-complex structures. The talk will be held in Room 408, Imperial College Maths Department, Huxley Building, 180 Queen’s Gate, London.
