Abstract: We characterize Osserman and conformally Osserman Riemannian manifolds with the local structure of a warped product. By means of this approach we analyze the twisted product structure and obtain, as a consequence, that the only Osserman manifolds which can be written as a twisted product are those of constant curvature.

Review text

The authors characterize Osserman and conformally Osserman Riemannian manifolds by employing the local structure of a warped product. The twisted product structures is examined and it is shown that the only Osserman manifolds that can be written as a twisted product are those of constant curvature. The pseudo-Riemannian version of the situation is discussed and it is shown that four-dimensional conformally Osserman warped products are conformally flat, however it is shown that this result does not hold for higher dimensions. Contents include: An introduction; Preliminaries (primarily dealing with warped product structures, and twisted product structures); Four-dimensional setting; Higher-dimensional setting; and References (fifteen items).
