The analysis of the harmonic-spin(7) flow
Abstract
The group Spin(7) belongs to the list of possible holonomy of an eight-dimensional Riemannian manifold. The weaker notion of Spin(7)-structures plays for manifolds with holonomy Spin(7), the analogue of almost Hermitian for K\"ahler manifolds. As part of a more general scheme, a notion of harmonicity of Spin(7)-structures is developed with the objective of comparing isometric Spin(7)-structures among themselves. We present here an account of our study in [12] of the harmonic flow of Spin(7)-structures and its analytical properties.
