Review text

According to \textit{A. Gray} [Geom. Dedicata 7, 259-280 (1978; Zbl 0378.53018)] the natural action of the orthogonal group on \(\nabla\text{ric}\)-like tensors determines a decomposition of the covariant derivative \(\nabla\text{ric}\) of the Ricci tensor ric of a Riemannian manifold into, in general, three irreducible components. This gives rise to define six classes \(S\), \(A\), \(Q\), \(S \oplus A\), \(S \oplus Q\) and \(A \oplus Q\) of Riemannian manifolds; for details see Chapter 16 in \textit{A. L. Besse} [Einstein manifolds (1987; Zbl 0613.53001)]. The class \(Q\) is characterized by the equation \(\nabla\left(\text{ric} - {1\over 2n-2} sg\right) = {n-2\over 2(n+2)(n-1)}ds \odot g\), where \(n\) is the dimension, \(ds\) the differential of the scalar curvature \(s\) and \(g\) the Riemannian metric of the manifold. In this article we establish a local classification of all three-dimensional Riemannian manifolds in \(Q\).
