Let (M, g) be a complete Riemannian manifold and G be a closed (connected) subgroup of the group of isometries of M. Then the union ${\MM}$ of all principal orbits is an open dense subset of M and the quotient map ${\MM} \longrightarrow {\BB} := {\MM}/G$ becomes a Riemannian submersion for the restriction of g to ${\MM}$ which gives the quotient metric on ${\BB}$. Namely, B is a singular (complete) Riemannian space such that $\partialB$ consists of non-principal orbits.

We study Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifolds which carry the space of closed conformal vector fields of at least 2-dimension. Subject to the condition that at each point the set of closed conformal vector fields spans a non-degenerate subspace of the tangent space at the point, we prove a global and a local classification theorems for such manifolds.

We show that any orthogonal almost complex structure on a warped product Riemannian manifold of an oriented closed surface with nonnegative Gaussian curvature and a round 4-sphere is never integrable. This provides a partial answer to a question raised by E. Calabi.

In this article we classify four dimensional gradient Ricci solitons (M, g, f) with half harmonic Weyl curvature and at most two distinct Ricci-eigenvalues at each point. Indeed, we showed that, in a neighborhood V of each point in some open dense subset of M, (V, g) is isometric to one of the following: (i) an Einstein manifold. (ii) a domain in the Riemannian product (ℝ², g₀) × (N, ${\tilde{g}}$), where g₀ is the flat metric on ℝ² and (N, ${\tilde{g}}$) is a two dimensional Riemannian manifold of constant curvature λ ≠ 0. (iii) a domain in ℝ × W with the warped product metric $ds^2+h(s)^2{\tilde{g}}$, where ${\tilde{g}}$ is a constant curved metric on a three dimensional manifold W.

In this paper, we deal with a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature on a compact manifold $M$. We prove that if the critical point metric has parallel Ricci tensor, then the manifold is isometric to a standard sphere. Moreover, we show that if an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold is a warped product, or has harmonic curvature with non-parallel Ricci tensor, then it cannot be a critical point metric.
