Abstract

In https://arxiv.org/abs/1411.4887, we found some necessary conditions for a Riemannian manifold to admit a local limiting Carleman weight (LCW), based upon the Cotton-York tensor in dimension 33 and the Weyl tensor in dimension 44. In this paper, we find further necessary conditions for the existence of local LCWs that are often sufficient. For a manifold of dimension 33 or 44, we classify the possible Cotton-York, or Weyl tensors, and provide a mechanism to find out whether the manifold admits local LCW for each type of tensor. In particular, we show that a product of two surfaces admits a LCW if and only if at least one of the two surfaces is of revolution. This provides an example of a manifold satisfying the eigenflag condition of \cite{AFGR} but not admitting LCWLCW.
