With a f-left-invariant Riemannian metric on a Lie group $G$, we mean a Riemannian metric which is conformally equivalent to a left-invariant Riemannian metric, with the conformal factor $f$. In this article, we study the geometry of such…

We show that Lorentzian manifolds whose isometry group is of dimension at least $\frac{1}{2}n(n-1)+1$ are expanding, steady and shrinking Ricci solitons and steady gradient Ricci solitons. This provides examples of complete locally…

We characterize Ricci almost solitons on semi-Riemannian warped products, considering the potential function to depend on the fiber or not. We show that the fiber is necessarily an Einstein manifold. As a consequence of our characterization…

The main purpose of this paper is to show that a normalized non-steady gradient Ricci soliton (M,g,f,{\lambda}) of dimension n is trivial if and only if its scalar curvature S satisfies the equality S={\lambda}(f+(n/2)).

We present the necessary and sufficient conditions for constructing gradient Ricci almost solitons that are realized as warped products. This will be done by means of Bishop-O'Neill's formulas and a particular study of Riemannian manifolds…

We study the modified Ricci solitons as a new class of Einstein type metrics that contains both Ricci solitons and $n$-quasi-Einstein metrics. This class is closely related to the construction of the Ricci solitons that are realised as…

In this article we study any 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ with harmonic curvature which admits a smooth nonzero solution $f$ to the following equation \begin{eqnarray} \label{0002bx} \nabla df = f(Rc -\frac{R}{n-1} g) + x Rc+…
