Reducible Riemannian manifolds with conformal product structures

Differential Geometry 2026-01-14 v1

Abstract

We study conformal product structures on compact reducible Riemannian manifolds, and show that under a suitable technical assumption, the underlying Riemannian mani\-folds are either conformally flat, or triple products, \emph{i.e.} locally isometric to Riemannian manifolds of the form (M,g)(M,g) with M=M1×M2×M3M=M_1\times M_2\times M_3 and g=e2fg1+g2+g3g=e^{2f}g_1+g_2+g_3, where gig_i is a Riemannian metric on MiM_i, for i{1,2,3}i\in\{1,2,3\}, and fC(M1×M2)f\in C^\infty(M_1\times M_2).
