          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.
