We study algebraic types of such manifolds specializing on those having skew-symmetric torsion, or those associated with a closed or coclosed 3-form $\\om^3$. We prove the existence of an algebra of multi-symplectic forms $\\phi^l$ on these manifolds. Cohomology groups associated with complexes of differential forms on $M^n$ in presence of such a closed multi-symplectic form $\\phi^l$ and their relations with the de Rham cohomologies of $M$ are investigated. We show rigidity of a class of strongly associative (resp. strongly coassociative) submanifolds. We include an appendix describing all connected simply connected complete Riemannian manifolds admitting a parallel 3-form.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2013-03-24T10:17:49.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "53C10", "53C38" ], "keywords": [ "geometric structures", "simple cartan", "complete riemannian manifolds admitting", "multi-symplectic form", "simply connected complete riemannian manifolds" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 32, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1103.1201V" } } }
