Stress-energy tensor of the traceless Ricci tensor and Einstein-type manifolds

Gabjin Yun

Myongji University

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the notion of stress-energy tensor $Q$ of the traceless Ricci tensor for Riemannian manifolds $(M^n, g)$, and investigate harmonicity of Riemannian curvature tensor and Weyl curvature tensor when $(M, g)$ satisfies some geometric structure such as critical point equation or vacuum static equation for smooth functions.

Keywords: Conservative law, harmonic curvature, stress-energy tensor, traceless Ricci tensor, vacuum static equation
