Applying this general framework, we obtain an intrinsic algebraic characterization of <span>(text {G}_2^*)</span>-structures as well as the first explicit description of isotropic irreducible spinors in signature (4, 3) that are parallel under a general connection on the spinor bundle. This description is given in terms of a coherent system of mutually orthogonal and isotropic one-forms and follows from the characterization of the stabilizer of an isotropic spinor as the stabilizer of a highly degenerate three-form that we construct explicitly. Using this result, we show that isotropic spinors parallel under a metric connection with torsion exist when the connection preserves the aforementioned coherent system.
