A generalized quasi-Einstein manifold is an \(n\)-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold \((M, g)\) satisfying the condition \(\mathrm{Ric} + \mathrm{Hess}\, f-\mu df\otimes df= \lambda g\), for some smooth functions \(f, \mu, \lambda\) on \(M\). If \(\mu= \frac{1}{m}\) with \(0 < m\leq\infty\), \((M, g)\) is called generalized \(m\)-quasi-Einstein manifold. The authors consider a complete connected generalized \(m\)-quasi-Einstein manifold \(M\) with finite \(m\), admitting a non-homothetic, non-parallel, complete closed conformal vector field \(V\). They show that such \(M\) is either isometric to a round sphere, or the Ricci tensor can be expressed explicitly in terms of the conformal data over an open dense subset. In the latter case, \(M\) is a warped product of an open real interval with an Einstein manifold.
