Abstract

On an nn-dimensional complete manifold MM, consider an hh-almost gradient Ricci soliton, which is a generalization of a gradient Ricci soliton. We prove that if the manifold is Bach-flat and dh/du>0dh/du>0, then the manifold MM is either Einstein or rigid. In particular, such a manifold has harmonic Weyl curvature. Moreover, if the dimension of MM is four, the metric gg is conformally flat.
