Decomposition of forms in $\operatorname{SU}(4)$-manifold

$\DeclareMathOperator\Spin{Spin}\DeclareMathOperator\SU{SU}$Let $(X,\Omega,\omega,J)$ be a manifold with an $\SU(4)$ structure. Since $\SU(4)\subset\Spin(7)$, $X$ also has a $\Spin(7)$-structure. I ...

Unique Kahler-Einstein metric $g$ with $\mathrm{Ricc}(g)=-g$ when first Chern class $C_1(M)<0$: $\mathrm{Ricc}(h)=-g\,\Rightarrow\,h=cg$ for $c>0$?

On a compact Kahler manifold, let $g$ be the unique Kahler-Einstein metric with $\mathrm{Ricc}(g)=-g$, proved to exist by Yau and Aubin when the first Chern class $C_1(M)<0$. Question: Does $g$ ...

Theorem of Bryant in higher dimensions

I have the following question. I read about Bryant's theorem which says that: any real-analytic 3-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(Y,g)$ with real-analytic metric $g$ can be isometrically embedded as ...
