Semi-Riemannian Bakry–Émery warped-product formula
Semi-Riemannian Bakry–Émery warped-product formula
Let be an -warped product of a Riemannian manifold , a positive warping function , and a weighted Riemannian manifold . The weighted semi-Riemannian analogue is obtained by replacing the Riemannian warped-product geometry with a weighted semi-Riemannian one. Semi-Riemannian Bakry–Émery formula conjecture. A formula like the Bakry–Émery -Ricci warped-product formula holds in the context of weighted semi-Riemannian manifolds. This would extend the displayed Riemannian formula to weighted Lorentzian and more general semi-Riemannian settings; no proof or precise general formulation is supplied here.
