Abstract: We classify static manifolds which admit more than one static decomposition whenever a condition on the curvature is fullfilled. For this, we take a standard static vector field and analyze its associated one parameter family of projections onto the base. We show that the base itself is a static manifold and the warping function satisfies severe restrictions, leading us to our classification results. Moreover, we show that certain condition on the lightlike sectional curvature ensures the uniqueness of static decomposition for Lorentzian manifolds.

Review text

The paper classifies static manifolds which admit more than one static decomposition whenever a condition on the curvature is fulfilled. For this, the authors take a standard static vector field and analyze its associated one parameter family of projections onto the base. A mild curvature hypothesis about the base or Einstein assumption is used. It is shown that in the Lorentzian case the uniqueness is guaranteed if the light-like sectional curvature at a point is never zero.
