Deformations of nearly parallel $G_2$-structures
We study the infinitesimal deformations of a proper nearly parallel G 2 -structure and prove that they are characterized by a certain first order differential equation.In particular we show that the space of infinitesimal deformations modulo the group of diffeomorphisms is isomorphic to a subspace of co-closed Λ 3 27 …
