On the geometry of Einstein-type manifolds with some structural conditions (Q2674862)

Inspired by the increased interest in Riemannian manifolds endowed with metrics that satisfy some geometric structural equations involving curvatures and some globally defined potential functions, this article focuses on Einstein-type manifolds with some structural conditions. The authors study the geometry of an Einstein-type equation on a Riemannian manifold, unifying several specific geometric structures recently discussed in the literature, such as the critical point equation and the vacuum static equation. After deriving a few relevant facts about Einstein-type manifolds in general and Einstein-type manifolds with positive scalar curvature, the authors continue their study of the geometry of Einstein-type manifolds by introducing various rigidity conditions and obtaining interesting results under several curvature conditions.
