We determine the local structure of all pseudo-Riemannian manifolds $(M,g)$ in dimensions $n\ge4$ whose Weyl conformal tensor $W$ is parallel and has rank 1 when treated as an operator acting on exterior 2-forms at each point. If one fixes…

A special case of the main result states that a complete $1$-connected Riemannian manifold $(M^n,g)$ is isometric to one of the models $\mathbb R^n$, $S^n(c)$, $\mathbb H^n(-c)$ of constant curvature if and only if every $p\in M^n$ is a…

By ECS manifolds one means pseudo-Riemannian manifolds of dimensions $\,n\ge4\,$ which have parallel Weyl tensor, but not for one of the two obvious reasons: conformal flatness or local symmetry. As shown by Roter [10, 2], they exist for…

A Riemannian manifold is called harmonic if its volume density function expressed in polar coordinates centered at any point is radial. Flat and rank-one symmetric spaces are harmonic. The converse (the Lichnerowicz Conjecture) is true for…

Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with parallel Weyl tensor that are not conformally flat or locally symmetric, also known as ECS manifolds, have a natural local invariant, the rank, which equals 1 or 2, and is the dimension of a certain…

A locally conformally K\"ahler (lcK) manifold is a complex manifold $(M,J)$ together with a Hermitian metric $g$ which is conformal to a K\"ahler metric in the neighbourhood of each point. In this paper we obtain three classification…

An LCK manifold with potential is a compact quotient of a Kahler manifold $X$ equipped with a positive Kahler potential $f$, such that the monodromy group acts on $X$ by holomorphic homotheties and multiplies $f$ by a character. The LCK…

Let $M$ be a compact Riemannian manifold and $h$ a smooth function on $M$. Let $\rho^h(x)=\inf_{|v|=1}\left(Ric_x(v,v)-2Hess(h)_x(v,v) \right)$. Here $Ric_x$ denotes the Ricci curvature at $x$ and $Hess(h)$ is the Hessian of $h$. Then $M$…
