On the geometry of gradient Einstein-type manifolds

Differential Geometry 2017-04-25 v1

Abstract

In this paper we introduce the notion of Einstein-type structure on a Riemannian manifold \varrg\varrg, unifying various particular cases recently studied in the literature, such as gradient Ricci solitons, Yamabe solitons and quasi-Einstein manifolds. We show that these general structures can be locally classified when the Bach tensor is null. In particular, we extend a recent result of Cao and Chen.
