Abstract

Let (Mn,g)(M^n,g) be an nn-dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold with boundary. In this article, we study the effects of the presence of a nontrivial conformal vector field on (Mn,g)(M^n,g). We used the wekk-known de-Rham Laplace operator and a nontrivial solution of the famous Fischer-Marsden differential equation to provide two characterizations of the hemisphere S+n(c)\mathbb{S}^{n}_{+}(c) of constant curvature c>0.c>0. As a consequence of the characterization using the Fischer-Marsden equation, we prove the cosmic no-hair conjecture under a given integral condition.
