Abstract

In this paper, we study nn-dimensional gradient ρ\rho-Einstein solitons whose Bach tensor is radially nonnegative. Under this assumption, we show that such ρ\rho-Einstein solitons are locally warped products of an interval and an Einstein manifold, provided either ρ0\rho\neq0 or ρ=0\rho=0 and the soliton is rectifiable. We obtain as a consequence that these solitons must have harmonic Weyl tensor and vanishing Bach tensor. We also finish the classification of complete locally conformally flat steady ρ\rho-Einstein solitons and classify these manifolds when their Bach tensor is radially nonnegative and n{3,4}n\in\{3,4\}.
