We characterize real 4-dimensional Kahler metrices which are critical for natural quadratic Riemannian functionals defined on the space of all Riemannian metrics. In particular we show that such critical Kahler surfaces are either Einstein or have zero scalar curvature. We also make some discussion on criticality in the space of Kahler metrics.

Consider a gradient Einstein-type metric in the setting of K-contact manifolds and (κ, µ)-contact manifolds. First, it is proved that, if a complete K-contact manifold admits a gradient Einstein-type metric, then M is compact, Einstein, Sasakian and isometric to the unit sphere 𝕊²ⁿ⁺¹. Next, it is proved that, if a non-Sasakian (κ, µ)-contact manifolds admits a gradient Einstein-type metric, then it is flat in dimension 3, and for higher dimension, M is locally isometric to the product of a Euclidean space 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ and a sphere 𝕊ⁿ(4) of constant curvature +4.

In this paper we study the geometry of codimension 2 screen conformal Einstein half lightiike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian manifold $(\={M}(c),\={g})$ of constant curvature c, with a Killing co-screen distribution on $\={M}$. The main result is a classification theorem for screen homothetic Einstein half lightlike submanifold of Lorentzian space forms.

On a compact n-dimensional manifold M, it has been conjectured that a critical point of the total scalar curvature, restricted to the space of metrics with constant scalar curvature of unit volume, is Einstein. In this paper, after derivng an interesting curvature identity, we show that the conjecture is true in dimension three and four when g is weakly Einstein. In higher dimensional case $n{\geq}5$, we also show that the conjecture is true under an additional Ricci curvature bound. Moreover, we prove that the manifold is isometric to a standard n-sphere when it is n-dimensional weakly Einstein and the kernel of the linearized scalar curvature operator is nontrivial.

In this article we make a local classification of n-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (M, g) with harmonic curvature and less than four Ricci eigenvalues which admit a smooth non constant solution f to the following equation $$(1)\hspace{20}{\nabla}df=f(r-{\frac{R}{n-1}}g)+x{\cdot} r+y(R)g,$$ where ∇ is the Levi-Civita connection of g, r is the Ricci tensor of g, x is a constant and y(R) a function of the scalar curvature R. Indeed, we showed that, in a neighborhood V of each point in some open dense subset of M, either (i) or (ii) below holds; (i) (V, g, f + x) is a static space and isometric to a domain in the Riemannian product of an Einstein manifold N and a static space (W, gW, f + x), where gW is a warped product metric of an interval and an Einstein manifold. (ii) (V, g) is isometric to a domain in the warped product of an interval and an Einstein manifold. For the proof we use eigenvalue analysis based on the Codazzi tensor properties of the Ricci tensor.

The object of this paper is to classify paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-spaces satisfying certain curvature conditions. We show that a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space is Ricci semisymmetric if and only if the metric is Einstein, provided k < -1. Also we prove that a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space is ${\phi}$-Ricci symmetric if and only if the metric is Einstein, provided $k{\neq}0$, -1. Moreover, we show that in a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space with k < -1, a second order symmetric parallel tensor is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor. Several consequences of these results are discussed.

It has been conjectured that, on a compact 3-dimensional manifold, a critical point of the total scalar curvature functional restricted to the space of constant scalar curvature metrics of volume 1 is Einstein. In this paper we find a sufficient condition that a critical point is Einstein. This condition is equivalent for a critical point ot be conformally flat. Its relationship with the Fisher-Marsden conjecture is also discussed.

We investigate semi-symmetry and pseudo-symmetry of some 3-dimensional Riemannian manifolds: the D'Atri spaces, the Thurston geometries as well as the ${\eta}$-Einstein manifolds. We prove that all these manifolds are pseudo-symmetric and that many of them are not semi-symmetric.

The present paper deals with the study of Fischer-Marsden conjecture on a Kenmotsu manifold. It is proved that if a Kenmotsu metric satisfies 𝔏^*_g(λ) = 0 on a (2n + 1)-dimensional Kenmotsu manifold M²ⁿ⁺¹, then either ξλ = -λ or M²ⁿ⁺¹ is Einstein. If n = 1, M³ is locally isometric to the hyperbolic space H³ (-1).
