Abstract

Let the warped product Mn=Lm×φFnmM^n=L^m\times_\varphi F^{n-m}, nm+38n\geq m+3\geq 8, of Riemannian manifolds be an Einstein manifold with Ricci curvature ρ\rho that admits an isometric immersion into Euclidean space with codimension two. Under the assumption that LmL^m is also Einstein, but not of constant sectional curvature, it is shown that ρ=0\rho=0 and that the submanifold is locally a cylinder with an Euclidean factor of dimension at least nmn-m. Hence LmL^m is also Ricci flat. If MnM^n is complete, then the same conclusion holds globally if the assumption on LmL^m is replaced by the much weaker condition that either its scalar curvature SLS_L is constant or that SL(2mn)ρS_L\leq (2m-n)\rho.
