Vanishing bach-like tensors on complete gradient shrinking ricci solitons

Differential Geometry 2023-07-06 v1

Abstract

The Bach tensor is classically defined in dimension 4, and work from J. Bergman \cite{bergman:2004} and others shows that B=12U+16VB = \frac{1}{2}U + \frac{1}{6}V where UU and VV are more basic 2-tensors, which are symmetric, divergence-free, algebraically independent, and quadratic in the Riemann tensor. In this paper, we extend H.-D. Cao and Q. Chen's results \cite{caochen:2013} for Bach-flat gradient shrinking Ricci solitons to solitons with B=αU+βV=0\mathfrak{B} = \alpha U + \beta V = 0.
