We show that locally conformally flat quasi-Einstein manifolds are globally conformally equivalent to a space form or locally isometric to a Robertson-Walker spacetime or a -wave.

Critical metrics and massive gravity solutions on three-dimensional Brinkmann waves*

M. Brozos-Vazquez, S. Caeiro-Oliveira, E. Garcia-Rio

Summary: This article investigates the critical three-dimensional Brinkmann waves for quadratic curvature functionals. It is found that if a metric is critical for some functional, it is critical for all of them. Additionally, four special functionals are identified that do not share critical metrics with any other quadratic functional. Furthermore, it is shown that these metrics provide explicit solutions for different massive gravity models.

Vacuum Einstein field equations in smooth metric measure spaces: the isotropic case*

M. Brozos-Vazquez, D. Mojon-Alvarez

Summary: In this paper, a weighted Einstein tensor is defined on a smooth metric measure spacetime, and its applications in isotropic solutions are studied. By investigating the nilpotent Ricci operator, specific types of manifold are obtained. In dimension 3, all isotropic solutions can be expressed as plane waves or Kundt spacetimes.

Ricci solitons on four-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups

M. Ferreiro-Subrido, E. Garcia-Rio, R. Vazquez-Lorenzo

Summary: This article investigates non-Einstein Ricci solitons on four-dimensional Lorentzian Lie groups with left-invariant soliton vector fields. In addition to pp-wave and plane wave Lie groups, there are four families of Lorentzian metrics on semi-direct extensions R-3 (sic) R and E(1, 1) (sic) R. It is shown that some of these Ricci solitons are conformally Einstein and can be expanding, steady, or shrinking.

Homogeneous and curvature homogeneous Lorentzian critical metrics

M. Brozos-Vazquez, S. Caeiro-Oliveira, E. Garcia-Rio

Summary: We investigate three-dimensional homogeneous and 1-curvature homogeneous Lorentzian metrics critical to a quadratic curvature functional. We demonstrate that any quadratic curvature functional can have distinct non-Einstein homogeneous critical metrics and that there are homogeneous metrics critical to all quadratic curvature functionals without being Einstein.

Contact detection between a small ellipsoid and another quadric

M. Brozos-Vazquez, M. J. Pereira-Saez, A. B. Rodriguez-Raposo, M. J. Souto-Salorio, A. D. Tarrio-Tobar

Summary: In this paper, we analyze the characteristic polynomial of an ellipsoid and another quadric in the context of contact detection. We derive a necessary and sufficient condition for an efficient contact detection method, known as the smallness condition, based on the size and shape of the quadrics. This condition can be directly checked from the parameters of the quadrics. Under this assumption, contact can be detected using the expressions and coefficients of the characteristic polynomial, and the relative positions can be classified based on the sign of the coefficients. As an application, we present a method to detect contact between a small ellipsoid and a combination of quadrics.

Homogeneous four-manifolds with half-harmonic Weyl curvature tensor

Esteban Calvino-Louzao, Maria Ferreiro-Subrido, Eduardo Garcia-Rio, Ramon Vazquez-Lorenzo

Summary: We demonstrate that a four-dimensional homogeneous manifold with a half-harmonic Weyl curvature tensor is either symmetric or homothetic, and it can be isomorphic to either the only nonsymmetric anti-self-dual homogeneous manifold or the 3-symmetric space.

Curvature homogeneous critical metrics in dimension three

M. Brozos-Vazquez, S. Caeiro-Oliveira, E. Garcia-Rio

Summary: This study investigates curvature homogeneous three-manifolds modeled on a symmetric space, which exhibit critical characteristics for some quadratic curvature functional. If the Ricci operator is diagonalizable, the critical metrics are 1-curvature homogeneous Brinkmann waves and are critical for a specific functional. Otherwise, the critical metrics are modeled on Cahen-Wallach symmetric spaces and they are Kundt spacetimes critical for all quadratic curvature functionals.

Homogeneous Riemannian structures in dimension three

Summary: In this study, we identify all the homogeneous structures on non-symmetric three-dimensional Riemannian Lie groups and prove that a non-symmetric three-dimensional Riemannian Lie group has a non-canonical homogeneous structure if and only if its isometry group has dimension four.
