> > Title: A survey of parts of G2-geometry
> >
> > Abstract:
> >
> > This lecture series consists of four parts. Part I reviews the notion
> > of a G2–manifold, puts them into (hopefully familiar) context, and
> > discusses (some of) the known construction methods.  Part II focuses
> > on associative submanifolds.  I will discuss their deformation theory,
> > some construction methods, and sketch two degeneration phenomena for
> > associatives submanifolds. Part III introduces the notion of
> > G2–instantons, discusses construction methods, and summarises the
> > compactness issues (and its connection with associative submanifolds.)
> >  The final part IV discusses how Donaldson–Thomas’s vision of
> > enumerative invariants of G2–manifolds (arising from associative
> > submanifolds and G2–instantons) has evolved over the past decade.
