Abstract: In this article we study any 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with harmonic curvature which admits a smooth nonzero solution $f$ to the following equation �egin{eqnarray} label{0002bx} abla df = f(Rc -frac{R}{n-1} g) + x Rc+ y(R) g. end{eqnarray} where $Rc$ is the Ricci tensor of $g$, $x$ is a constant and $y(R)$ a function of the scalar curvature $R$. We show that a neighborhood of any point in some open dense subset of $M$ is locally isometric to one of the following five types; { m (i)} $mathbb{S}^2(fracR6)imesmathbb{S}^2(fracR3)$ with $R>0$, { m (ii)} $mathbb{H}^2(fracR6)imesmathbb{H}^2(fracR3)$ with $R<0$, where $mathbb{S}^2(k)$ and $mathbb{H}^2(k)$ are the two-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant sectional curvature $k>0$ and $k<0$, respectively, { m (iii)} the static spaces in Example 3 below, { m (iv)} conformally flat static spaces described in Kobayashi's cite{Ko}, and { m (v)} a Ricci flat metric. We then get a number of Corollaries, including the classification of the following four dimensional spaces with harmonic curvature; static spaces, Miao-Tam critical metrics and $V$-static spaces. The proof is based on the argument from a preceding study of gradient Ricci solitons cite{Ki}. Some Codazzi-tensor properties of Ricci tensor, which come from the harmonicity of curvature, are effectively used.
