On Bach flat warped product Einstein manifolds

Qiang Chen and Chenxu He

Vol. 265 (2013), No. 2, 313–326
Abstract

We show that a compact warped product Einstein manifold with vanishing Bach tensor of dimension n 4 is either Einstein or a finite quotient of a warped product with an (n1)-dimensional Einstein fiber. The fiber has constant curvature if n = 4.
