Riemannian Geometry of Knot Spaces
We will review the construction of knot spaces of manifolds, specifically over G2 and Spin(7) manifolds. We will then see an explicit construction of the Levi-Civita connection of the knot space, and see what this can tell us about the torsion of the induced special geometric structures on knot spaces of G2 and Spin(7) manifolds.
