In this paper, when N is a compact Riemannian manifold, we discuss the method of using warped products to construct timelike or null future(or past) complete Lorentzian metrics on $M{\;}={\;}[a,{\;}{\infty}){\times}_f{\;}N$ with specific scalar curvatures.

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.

Let M be an n-dimensional compact connected and oriented Riemannian manifold isometrically immersed in an (n+2)-dimensional Euclidean space $R^{n+2}$. Moore [5] proved that if M is of positive curvature, then M is a homotopy sphere. This result is generalized by Baldin and Mercuri [2], Baik and Shin [1] to the case of non-negative curvature, which is stated as follows: If M of non-negative curvature, then M is either a homotopy sphere or diffeomorphic to a product of two spheres. In particular, if there is a point at which the curvature operator is positive, then M is homeomorphic to a sphere.e.

For a Riemannian manifold $(M^n, g)$ we consider the space $V(M^n, g)$ of all smooth functions on $M^n$ whose Hessian is proportional to the metric tensor $g$. It is well-known that if $M^n$ is a space form then $V(M^n)$ is of dimension n+2. In this paper, conversely, we prove that if $V(M^n)$ is of dimension $\ge{n+1}$, then $M^n$ is a Riemannian space form.

The purpose of this paper is to study indefinite Kaehlerian metrics with vanishing conformal curvature tensor field. In the first section, a brief summary of the complex version of indefinite Kaehlerian manifolds is recalled and we introduce the conformal curvature tensor field on an indefinite Kaehlerian manifold. In section 2, we obtain the theorem for indefinite Kaehlerian metrics with vanishing conformal curvature tensor field.

We discuss the integrability of orthogonal almost complex structures on Riemannian products of even-dimensional round spheres and give a partial answer to the question raised by E. Calabi concerning the existence of complex structures on a product manifold of a round 2-sphere and of a round 4-sphere.

On a compact manifold without conjugate points, the volume entropy can be obtained as the average mean curvature of the horospheres in the universal covering space. In the case when the volume entropy is zero, we prove that the universal covering space is diffeomorphic to a product space with a line factor. This fact can be considered as a surporting evidence for the Mane's conjecture, which claims the flatness of the mainfold.

A 6-dimensional sphere considered as a homogeneous space $G_2/SU(3)$ where $G_2$ is the group of automorphism of the octonians O. From this representation, we can define an almost comlex structure on a 6-dimensional sphere by making use of the vector cross product of the octonians. Also it is known that a homogeneous space $G_2/U(2)$ coincides with the Grassmann manifold of oriented 2-planes of a 7-dimensional Euclidean space.

In this paper, we study certain doubly-warped products which admit gradient Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl curvature and non-constant soliton function. The metric is of the form $g=dx^2_1+p(x_1)^2dx^2_2+h(x_1)^2\;{\tilde{g}}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2{\times}N$, where $x_1$, $x_2$ are the local coordinates on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ and ${\tilde{g}}$ is an Einstein metric on the manifold N. We obtained a full description of all the possible local gradient Ricci solitons.
