In this paper, we look for metrics of cohomogeneity one in D = 8 and D = 7 dimensions with Spin(7) and G 2 holonomy, respectively. In D = 8, we first consider the case of principal orbits that are S 7 , viewed as an S 3 bundle over S 4 with triaxial squashing of the S 3 fibres. This gives a more gen

✦ Synopsis
G 2 -manifolds with a cohomogeneity-one action of a compact Lie group G are studied. For G simple, all solutions with holonomy G 2 and weak holonomy G 2 are classified. The holonomy G 2 solutions are necessarily Ricci-flat and there is a one-parameter family with SU(3)-symmetry. The weak holonomy G 2 solutions are Einstein of positive scalar curvature and are uniquely determined by the simple symmetry group. During the proof the equations for G 2 -symplectic and G 2 -cosymplectic structures are studied and the topological types of the manifolds admitting such structures are determined. New examples of compact G 2 -cosymplectic manifolds and complete G 2 -symplectic structures are found.

Irreducible hyperk~ihler manifolds of dimension greater than four admitting a cohomogeneityone action of a compact simple Lie group are classified via coadjoint orbits. It is shown that the only complete example is the Calabi metric on T\*CP(n).
