Rigidity of Bach-flat gradient Schouten solitons

Differential Geometry 2021-03-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper we show that a complete Schouten soliton whose Ricci tensor has at most two eigenvalues at each point is rigid. This allows the classification of both shrinking and expanding Bach-flat Schouten solitons for nn\geq 4. When n=3n=3 we are able to conclude rigidity under a more general condition, namely when the Bach tensor is divergence free. These results imply rigidity of locally conformally flat Schouten solitons for n3n\geq3.
