Abstract: This paper addresses a gap in the classifcation of Codazzi tensors with exactly two eigenfunctions on a Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. Derdzinski proved that if the trace of such a tensor is constant and the dimension of one of the the eigenspaces is $n-1$, then the metric is a warped product where the base is an open interval- a conclusion we will show to be true under a milder trace condition. Furthermore, we construct examples of Codazzi tensors having two eigenvalue functions, one of which has eigenspace dimension $n-1$, where the metric is not a warped product with interval base, refuting a remark in cite{Besse} that the warped product conclusion holds without any restriction on the trace.

Review text

The author ``addresses a gap in the classification of Codazzi tensors with exactly two eigenfunctions on a Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEFirst, he improves a result by Derdzinski, who proved that ``if the trace of a Codazzi tensor is constant and the dimension of one of the eigenspaces is \(n-1\), then the metric is a warped product, where the base is an open interval.NEWLINENEWLINEMoreover, the author exhibits examples of Codazzi tensors which disprove a claim by A. L. Besse that the ``warped product conclusion holds without any restriction on the trace.
