Abstract

In this paper we consider a class of Einstein warped product semi-Riemannian manifolds M^=Mn×fNm\widehat{M} = M^{n}\times_{f}N^{m} with n3n\geq 3 and m2m\geq 2. For M^\widehat{M} with compact base and Ricci-flat fiber, we prove that M^\widehat{M} is simply a Riemannian product space. Then, when the base MM is conformal to a pseudo-Euclidean space which is invariant under the action of a (n1)(n-1)-dimensional translation group, we classify all such spaces. Furthermore, we get new examples of complete Einstein warped products Riemannian manifolds.
