If you have a question about this talk, please contact Professor Maciej Dunajski.

I will review the 19th century classical invariant theory of Cayley and Sylvester, and present a solution of an outstanding open problem concerning binary sextics. This will be used in a twistor construction of explicit closed G_2 structures. This is joint work with Roger Penrose.
