Remarks on compact quasi-Einstein manifolds with boundary

Differential Geometry 2021-05-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper, we prove that a compact quasi-Einstein manifold (Mn,g,u)(M^n,\,g,\,u) of dimension n4n\geq 4 with boundary M,\partial M, nonnegative sectional curvature and zero radial Weyl tensor is either isometric, up to scaling, to the standard hemisphere S+n,\Bbb{S}^n_+, or g=dt2+ψ2(t)gLg=dt^{2}+\psi ^{2}(t)g_{L} and u=u(t),u=u(t), where gLg_{L} is Einstein with nonnegative Ricci curvature. A similar classification result is obtained by assuming a fourth-order vanishing condition on the Weyl tensor. Moreover, a new example is presented in order to justify our assumptions. In addition, the case of dimension n=3n=3 is also discussed.
