Gradient almost Ricci solitons with vanishing conditions on Weyl tensor and Bach tensor

Abstract

In this paper we consider gradient almost Ricci solitons with weak conditions on Weyl and Bach tensors. We show that a gradient almost Ricci soliton has harmonic Weyl curvature if {it has fourth order divergence-free Weyl tensor, or it has divergence-free Bach tensor. Furthermore, if its Weyl tensor is radially flat, we prove such a gradient almost Ricci soliton is locally a warped product with Einstein fibers}. Finally, we prove a rigidity result on compact gradient almost Ricci solitons satisfying an integral condition.

Keywords: Gradient almost Ricci soliton, harmonic Weyl curvature, conformally flat
