In this paper, when N is a compact Riemannian manifold, we discuss the nonexistence of conformal deformations on Riemannian warped product manifold $M=({\alpha},\;{\infty}){\times}_fN$ with prescribed scalar curvature functions.

Let (M^2m, 𝜑, g) be a B-manifold. In this paper, we introduce a new class of metric on (M^2m, 𝜑, g), obtained by a non-conformal deformation of the metric g, called a generalized Berger-type deformed metric. First we investigate the Levi-Civita connection of this metric. Secondly we characterize the Riemannian curvature, the sectional curvature and the scalar curvature. Finally, we study the proper biharmonicity of the identity map and of a curve on M with respect to a generalized Berger-type deformed metric.

In this paper, we characterize the conformal transformations between two almost regular (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metrics. Suppose that F is a non-Riemannian (${\alpha},{\beta}$)-metric and is conformally related to ${\widetilde{F}}$, that is, ${\widetilde{F}}=e^{{\kappa}(x)}F$, where ${\kappa}:={\kappa}(x)$ is a scalar function on the manifold. We obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions of the conformal transformation between F and ${\widetilde{F}}$ preserving the mean Landsberg curvature. Further, when both F and ${\widetilde{F}}$ are regular, the conformal transformation between F and ${\widetilde{F}}$ preserving the mean Landsberg curvature must be a homothety.

Let (M, g) be a Riemannian manifold. The relation between a (pointwise) conformal metric of the metric g and the scalar curvature of this new metrics is investigated by Kazdan, Warner and Schoen (cf. [1, 4]).

In [3] and [4], Kitahara, Pak and the author obtained the conformally invariant tensor $B_0$, which is an algebraic Hermitian analogue of the Weyl conformal curvature tensor W in the Riemannian geometry, by the decomposition of the curvature tensor H of the Hermitian connection and the notion of semi-curvature-like tensors of Tanno (see[7]). In [5], the author defined a conformally invariant tensor $B_0$ on a Hermitian manifold as a modification of $B_0$. Moreover he introduced the notion of local conformal Hermitian-flatness of Hermitian manifolds and proved that the vanishing of this tensor $B_0$ together with some condition for the scalar curvatures is a necessary and sufficient condition for a Hermitian manifold to be locally conformally Hermitian-flat.

Thurston, in 1986, discovered that the Schwarzian derivative has mysterious properties similar to the curvature on a manifold. After his work, there are several approaches to develop this notion on Riemannian manifolds. Here, a tensor field is identified in the study of global conformal diffeomorphisms on Finsler manifolds as a natural generalization of the Schwarzian derivative. Then, a natural definition of a Mobius mapping on Finsler manifolds is given and its properties are studied. In particular, it is shown that Mobius mappings are mappings that preserve circles and vice versa. Therefore, if a forward geodesically complete Finsler manifold admits a Mobius mapping, then the indicatrix is conformally diffeomorphic to the Euclidean sphere S^n-1 in ℝⁿ. In addition, if a forward geodesically complete absolutely homogeneous Finsler manifold of scalar flag curvature admits a non-trivial change of Mobius mapping, then it is a Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature.

The P-curvature tensor has been studied in the space-time of general relativity and it is found that the contracted part of this tensor vanishes in the Einstein space. It is shown that Rainich conditions for the existence of non-null electro variance can be obtained by P_𝛼𝛽. It is established that the divergence of tensor G_𝛼𝛽 defined with the help of P_𝛼𝛽 and scalar P is zero, so that it can be used to represent Einstein field equations. It is shown that for V₄ satisfying Einstein like field equations, the tensor P_𝛼𝛽 is conserved, if the energy momentum tensor is Codazzi type. The space-time satisfying Einstein's field equations with vanishing of P-curvature tensor have been considered and existence of Killing, conformal Killing vector fields and perfect fluid space-time has been established.

In this parper, we considered the uniqueness of positive time-solution to equation ${\Box}_g$u(t,$\chi$) - $c_n$u(t,$\chi$) + $c_n$u(t,$\chi$)$^[\frac{n+3}{n-3}]$ = 0, where $c_n$ = $\frac{n-1}{4n}$ and ${\Box}_g$ is the d'Alembertian for a Lorentzian warped manifold M = {a,$\infty$] $\times_f$ N.

In this paper we introduce generalized weakly semi-conformally symmetric manifold, a generalization of weakly symmetric manifold. We study some basic properties and obtain the forms of the scalar curvature of such manifold. In the last section an example is given to ensure the existence of such manifold.
