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.
The exterior derivative $d θ$ of the Lee form $θ$ of almost Hermitian manifolds is studied. If $ω$ is the Kähler two-form, it is proved that the $\mathbb{R}ω$-component of $dθ$ is always zero. expressions for the other components, in $[λ_0^{1,1}]$ and in $[[ λ^{2,0} ]]$, of $dθ$ are also obtained. They are given in terms of the intrinsic torsion. Likewise, it is described some interrelations between the Lee form and $U(n)$-components of the Riemannian curvature tensor.
The study of harmonicity for almost contact metric structures was initiated by Vergara-Díaz and Wood and continued by González-Dávila and the present author. By using the intrinsic torsion and some restriction on the type of almost contact metric structure, González-Dávila and the present author have characterised harmonic structures by showing conditions relating harmonicity and classes of almost contact metric structures. Here we do this in a more general context. Moreover, the harmonicity of almost contact metric structures as a map is also done in such a general context. Finally, some remarks on the classification of almost contact metric structures are exposed.
On connected manifolds of dimension higher than three, the non-existence of $132$ Chinea and González-Dávila types of almost contact metric structures is proved. This is a consequence of some interrelations among components of the intrinsic torsion of an almost contact metric structure. Such interrelations allow to describe the exterior derivatives of some relevant forms in the context of almost contact metric geometry.
Local SU(3)-structures on an oriented submanifold of Spin(7)-manifold are determined and their types are characterized in terms of the shape operator and the type of the Spin(7)-structure. An application to Bryant \cite{MR89b:53084} and Calabi \cite{MR24 #A558} examples is given. It is shown that the product of a Cayley plane and a minimal surface lying in a four-dimensional orthogonal Cayley plane with the induced complex structure from the octonions described by Bryant in \cite{MR89b:53084} admits a holomorphic local complex volume form exactly when it lies in a three-plane, i.e. it coincides with the example constructed by Calabi in \cite{MR24 #A558}. In this case the holomorphic (3,0)-form is parallel with respect to the unique Hermitian connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion.
