Review text

Einstein-Weyl geometry has received much attention in recent years particularly in three dimensions, where Einstein-Weyl structures arise as symmetry reductions of the self-duality equations for four dimensional conformal structures. An Einstein-Weyl structure on an \(n\) manifold \(M\), with \(n\geq 3\) consists of a conformal structure together with a compatible (i.e. conformal) torsion-free connection \(D\) such that the symmetric trace-free part of the Ricci tensor of \(D\) vanishes.NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEAll local solutions of the two-dimensional Einstein-Weyl equations are found, and related to the compact examples obtained in the references.
