We study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit spacelike or timelike tangent vectors. This leads to questions in the conformal geometry of pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which generalize the Osserman conjecture to this setting. We also study similar questions related to the skew-symmetric curvature operator defined by the Weyl conformal curvature tensor.

Let $(M^{n}, g)$ be a closed Riemannian manifold and $g_{E}$ the Euclidean metric. We show that for $m > 1$ , $(M^{n} \times 𝐑^{m}, (g + g_{E}))$ is not conformal to a positive Einstein manifold. Moreover, $(M^{n} \times 𝐑^{m}, (g + g_{E}))$ is not conformal to a Riemannian manifold of positive Ricci curvature, through a radial, integrable, smooth function, $ϕ : 𝐑^{𝐦} \to 𝐑^{+}$ , for $m > 1$ . These results are motivated by some recent questions on Yamabe constants.

Conformal gradient vector fields on a compact Riemannian manifold

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

It is proved that if an n-dimensional compact connected Riemannian manifold (M,g) with Ricci curvature Ric satisfying 0 < Ric ≤ (n-1)(2-nc/λ₁)c for a constant c admits a nonzero conformal gradient vector field, then it is isometric to Sⁿ(c), where λ₁ is the first nonzero eigenvalue of the Laplacian operator on M. Also, it is observed that existence of a nonzero conformal gradient vector field on an n-dimensional compact connected Einstein manifold...
