Some remarks on Yamabe solitons

Differential Geometry 2018-03-15 v1

Abstract

In this paper we have obtained evolution of some geometric quantities on a compact Riemannian manifold MnM^n when the metric is a Yamabe soliton. Using these quantities we have obtained bound on the soliton constant. We have proved that the commutator of two soliton vector fields with the same metric in a given conformal class produces a Killing vector field. Also it is shown that the soliton vector field becomes a geodesic vector field if and only if the manifold is of constant curvature.
