Einstein $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ and $\mathrm{G}_2$ structures

Abstract

We describe a method to obtain $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures and $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures on 6 and 7-dimensional manifolds respectively, such that its associated metric is Einstein. More concretely, we have that different classes of $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ and $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structures, on 5 and 6-dimensional manifolds whose induced metric is Einstein can produce, via warped products, different classes $\mathrm{SU}(3)$ and $\mathrm{G}_2$-structures such that its associated metric is also Einstein.
