Recall that the usual Einstein metrics are those for which the first Ricci contraction of the covariant Riemann curvature tensor is proportional to the metric. Assuming the same type of restrictions but instead on the different contractions…

We present a general numerical method for investigating prescribed Ricci curvature problems on toric K\"ahler manifolds. This method is applied to two generalisations of Einstein metrics, namely Ricci solitons and quasi-Einstein metrics. We…

We prove linear semi-stability for a large class of Einstein metrics of non-positive scalar curvature. More precisely, we show that any Einstein $n$-manifold with non-positive scalar curvature carrying a parallel twisted pure spin$^r$…

In this paper, we study two notions of rigidity, one of conformal submersions and the other of quasi Einstein manifolds, with an attempt to relate the two notions. Note that a smooth submersion between Riemannian manifolds is called…

Quasi-topological terms in gravity can be viewed as those that give no contribution to the equations of motion for a special subclass of metric ans\"atze. They therefore play no r\^ole in constructing these solutions, but can affect the…

A generalization of Ricci-like solitons with torse-forming potential, which is a constant multiple of the Reeb vector field, is studied. The conditions under which these solitons are equivalent to almost Einstein-like metrics are given.…

In this note we adapt the work of Hall to find quasi-Einstein metrics on sphere bundles over products of Fano Kaehler-Einstein manifolds, as well as bundles where only one end is blown down.

An Einstein manifold is called scalar curvature rigid if there are no compactly supported volume-preserving deformation of the metric which increase the scalar curvature. We give various characterizations of scalar curvature rigidity for…

We define a gradient Ricci soliton to be rigid if it is a flat bundle $% N\times_{\Gamma}\mathbb{R}^{k}$ where $N$ is Einstein. It is known that not all gradient solitons are rigid. Here we offer several natural conditions on the curvature…
