This paper is concerned with the study of spacetimes satisfying div 𝓜 = 0, where "div" denotes the divergence and 𝓜 is the m-projective curvature tensor. We establish that a perfect fluid spacetime with div 𝓜 = 0 is a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime and vorticity free; whereas a four-dimensional perfect fluid spacetime becomes a Robertson-Walker spacetime. Moreover, we establish that a Ricci recurrent spacetime with div 𝓜 = 0 represents a generalized Robertson-Walker spacetime.

In this note, we apply a maximum principle related to volume growth of a complete noncompact Riemannian manifold, which was recently obtained by Alías, Caminha and do Nascimento in [4], to establish new uniqueness and nonexistence results concerning maximal spacelike hypersurfaces immersed in a generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) spacetime obeying the timelike convergence condition. A study of entire solutions for the maximal hypersurface equation in GRW spacetimes is also made and, in particular, a new Calabi-Bernstein type result is presented.

In this paper, we study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply warped products with an affine connection with a zero torsion.

The object of the present paper is to characterize generalized Ricci recurrent (GR₄) spacetimes. Among others things, it is proved that a conformally flat GR₄ spacetime is a perfect fluid spacetime. We also prove that a GR₄ spacetime with a Codazzi type Ricci tensor is a generalized Robertson Walker spacetime with Einstein fiber. We further show that in a GR₄ spacetime with constant scalar curvature the energy momentum tensor is semisymmetric. Further, we obtain several corollaries. Finally, we cite some examples which are sufficient to demonstrate that the GR₄ spacetime is non-empty and a GR₄ spacetime is not a trivial case.
