Abstract

We provide the complete classification of seven-dimensional manifolds endowed with a closed non-parallel $\mathrm{G}_2$-structure and admitting a transitive reductive group $\mathrm{G}$ of automorphisms. In particular, we show that the center of $\mathrm{G}_2$ is one-dimensional and the manifold is the Riemannian product of a flat factor and a non-compact homogeneous six-dimensional manifold endowed with an invariant strictly symplectic half-flat $\mathrm{SU}(3)$-structure.
