Abstract: We give a description of Gray AC^{perp} manifolds (M,g) whose Ricci tensor has two eigenvalues of multiplicity 1 and dim M-1.


Due to A. Gray's nomination, a \(\mathcal{AC}^\perp\)-manifold is a Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) satisfying \[ \nabla_X\rho(X, X)= \frac{2X\text{Scal}}{n+2}g(X, X), \] where, \(\rho\) denotes the Ricci curvature and \(\text{Scal}=\mathrm{tr}_g\rho\) is the scalar curvature. The author describes all simply connected and real analytic Gray \(\mathcal{AC}^\perp\)-manifolds whose Ricci tensor has two eigenvalues \(\lambda,\mu\) of multiplicity \(\dim M-1\) and \(1\). The author gives also a description of all complete, real analytic, simply connected Riemannian manifolds \((M, g)\) admitting a pair of Einstein-Weyl structures \((g,\omega)\) and \((g,-\omega)\). He proves that on such manifolds \(\omega(X)=g(\xi,X)\), where \(\xi\) is either a Killing vector field or a closed gradient conformal field. In the latter case, he gives a complete classification of such manifolds; that is to say that, in this case the two Einstein-Weyl structures are conformally Einstein.
