We classify weakly Einstein algebraic curvature tensors in an oriented Euclidean 4-space, defined by requiring that the three-index contraction of the curvature tensor against itself be a multiple of the inner product. This algebraic…

We classify, up to a local isometry, all non-Kahler almost Kahler 4-manifolds for which the fundamental 2-form is an eigenform of the Weyl tensor, and whose Ricci tensor is invariant with respect to the almost complex structure.…

In this paper, we classify $n$-dimensional ($n\geq 5$) quasi-Einstein manifolds with harmonic Weyl curvature, thus extending the work of Shin \cite{Shin} in dimension four for quasi-Einstein manifolds and refining the work of…

We introduce an appropriate formalism in order to study conformal Killing (symmetric) tensors on Riemannian manifolds. We reprove in a simple way some known results in the field and obtain several new results, like the classification of…

A conformal transformation of a semi-Riemannian manifold is essential if there is no conformally equivalent metric for which it is an isometry. For Riemannian manifolds the existence of an essential conformal transformation forces the…

In this article, we study quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We provide a classification of compact and noncompact (possibly with boundary) $T$-flat quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature, where the…

An algebraic curvature tensor A is said to be Jacobi-Tsankov if J(x)J(y)=J(y)J(x) for all x,y. This implies J(x)J(x)=0 for all x; necessarily A=0 in the Riemannian setting. Furthermore, this implies J(x)J(y)=0 for all x,y if the dimension…

We characterize Osserman and conformally Osserman Riemannian manifolds with the local structure of a warped product. By means of this approach we analyze the twisted product structure and obtain, as a consequence, that the only Osserman…

We produce some explicit examples of conformally compact Einstein manifolds, whose conformal compactifications are foliated by Riemannian products of a closed Einstein manifold with the total space of a principal circle bundle over products…

Conformal symmetry underlies the mathematical description of various two-dimensional integrable models (e.g. for their Lax representation, Poisson algebra, zero curvature representation,...) or of conformal models (for the anomalous Ward…

We analyze the structure of the set of limiting Carleman weights in all conformally flat manifolds, 3-manifolds, and 4-manifolds. In particular we give a new proof of the classification of Euclidean limiting Carleman weights, and show that…

We show that any non-Kahler, almost Kahler 4-manifold for which both the Ricci and the Weyl curvatures have the same algebraic symmetries as they have for a Kahler metric is locally isometric to the (only) proper 3-symmetric 4-dimensional…

We derive point-wise and integral rigidity/gap results for a closed manifold with harmonic Weyl curvature in any dimension. In particular, there is a generalization of Tachibana's theorem for non-negative curvature operator. The key…

We study two types of isotropic planes: weakly isotropic and strongly isotropic planes. We prove that a Riemannian manifold of indefinite metric is conformally flat if and only if its curvature tensor vanishes on all the strongly isotropic…
