In this paper we introduce, in the Riemannian setting, the notion of conformal Ricci soliton, which includes as particular cases Einstein manifolds, conformal Einstein manifolds and (generic and gradient) Ricci solitons. We provide here…

This paper addresses a gap in the classifcation of Codazzi tensors with exactly two eigenfunctions on a Riemannian manifold of dimension three or higher. Derdzinski proved that if the trace of such a tensor is constant and the dimension of…

In this article, we give a new proof of a result due to J. Kim, which states that the Ricci tensor of a gradient Ricci soliton with dimension $n \geq 4$ and harmonic Weyl tensor has at most three distinct eigenvalues. This result…

We prove several Liouville-type non-existence theorems for higher order Codazzi tensors and classical Codazzi tensors on complete and compact Riemannian manifolds, in particular. These results will be obtained by using theorems of the…

A second-order differential identity for the Riemann tensor is obtained, on a manifold with symmetric connection. Several old and some new differential identities for the Riemann and Ricci tensors descend from it. Applications to manifolds…

Derdzinski and Shen's theorem on the restrictions posed by a Codazzi tensor on the Riemann tensor holds more generally when a Riemann-compatible tensor exists. Several properties are shown to remain valid in this broader setting. Riemann…

We consider complete Riemannian $3$-manifolds whose Ricci tensors have constant eigenvalues $(\lambda, \lambda, 0)$. When $\pi_1$ is finitely generated, we classify the topology of such manifolds by showing that they have a free fundamental…

We study several classes of Riemannian manifolds which are defined by imposing a certain condition on the Ricci tensor. We consider the following cases: Ricci recurrent, Cotton, quasi Einstein and pseudo Ricci symmetric condition. Such…

We describe the structure of the Ricci tensor on a locally homogeneous Lorentzian gradient Ricci soliton. In the non-steady case, we show the soliton is rigid in dimensions three and four. In the steady case, we give a complete…

In this article, we investigate a gradient almost Ricci soliton with harmonic Weyl tensor. We first prove that its Ricci tensor has at most three distinct eigenvalues of constant multiplicities in a neighborhood of a regular point of the…

In this paper we introduce the notion of Einstein-type structure on a Riemannian manifold $\varrg$, unifying various particular cases recently studied in the literature, such as gradient Ricci solitons, Yamabe solitons and quasi-Einstein…

In this paper we examine the structure of Riemannian manifolds with a special kind of Codazzi tensors. We use them to construct globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds with complete Cauchy hypersurfaces for any weakly irreducible holonomy…

We provide a step towards classifying Riemannian four-manifolds in which the curvature tensor has zero divergence, or -- equivalently -- the Ricci tensor Ric satisfies the Codazzi equation. Every known compact manifold of this type belongs…

A decomposition theorem is established for a class of closed Riemannian submanifolds immersed in a space form of constant sectional curvature. In particular, it is shown that if $M$ has nonnegative sectional curvature and admits a Codazzi…

We consider almost $\eta$-Ricci solitons in $(\varepsilon)$-para Sasakian manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. In the gradient case we give an estimation of the Ricci curvature tensor's norm and express the scalar curvature of…

Ricci-like solitons with arbitrary potential are introduced and studied on Sasaki-like almost contact B-metric manifolds. It is proved that the Ricci tensor of such a soliton is the vertical component of both B-metrics multiplied by a…

This paper derives new identities for the Weyl tensor on a gradient Ricci soliton, particularly in dimension four. First, we prove a Bochner-Weitzenb\"ock type formula for the norm of the self-dual Weyl tensor and discuss its applications,…

Let $M$ be a real hypersurface of a complex space form $M^n(c)$, $c\neq 0$. Suppose that the structure vector field $\xi$ of $M$ is an eigen vector field of the Ricci tensor $S$, $S\xi=\beta\xi$, $\beta$ being a function. We study on $M$, a…

We consider almost Einstein solitons $(V,\lambda)$ in a Riemannian manifold when $V$ is a gradient, a solenoidal or a concircular vector field. We explicitly express the function $\lambda$ by means of the gradient vector field $V$ and…

We introduce a natural extension of the concept of gradient Ricci soliton: the Ricci almost soliton. We provide existence and rigidity results, we deduce a-priori curvature estimates and isolation phenomena, and we investigate some…
