Remarks on some integral formulas for $G_2$-structures

Abstract

For seven-dimensional Riemannian manifolds equipped with a $G_2$-structure, we show in a full detailed way that all integral formulas and divergence equations, given by diverse authors, are agree with the ones displayed here in terms of the intrinsic torsion of the $G_2$-structure. Likewise the components of such an intrinsic torsion is expressed by means of exterior algebra.
