Distinguishing G2-manifolds

Abstract

In this survey, we describe invariants that can be used to distinguish connected components of the moduli space of holonomy G2 metrics on a closed 7-manifold, or to distinguish G2-manifolds that are homeomorphic but not diffeomorphic. We also describe the twisted connected sum and extra-twisted connected sum constructions used to realise G2-manifolds for which the above invariants differ.
