Abstract: In this paper we study 4-dimensional (m,ho)-quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature when motin0,pm1,2,pminfty and hootinfrac14,frac16. We prove that a non-trivial (m,ho)-quasi-Einstein metric g (not necessarily complete) is locally isometric to one of the followings: (i) mathcalBf2racR2(m+2)imesmathbbNf2racR(m+1)2(m+2) where mathcalBf2racR2(m+2) is a northern hemisphere in the 2-dimensional sphere mathbbSf2racR2(m+2), mathbbNdelta is the 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold with constant curvature delta and R is the constant scalar curvature of g, (ii) mathcalDf2racR2(m+2)imesmathbbNf2racR(m+1)2(m+2) where mathcalDf2racR2(m+2) is one half (cut by a hyperbolic line) of the hyperbolic plane mathbbHf2racR2(m+2), (iii) mathbbHf2racR2(m+2)imesmathbbNf2racR(m+1)2(m+2), (iv) a certain singular metric with ho=0, (vi) a locally conformally flat metric. By applying this local classification, we obtain a classification of complete (m,ho)-quasi-Einstein manifolds under the harmonic Weyl curvature condition. Our result can be viewed as a local classification of gradient Einstein-type manifolds. One corollary of our result is the classification of (lambda,4+m)-Einstein manifolds which can be viewed as (m,0)-quasi-Einstein manifolds.
