In this work, we aim to investigate the characteristics of the Bach and Cotton tensors on Lorentzian manifolds, particularly those admitting a semi-symmetric metric ω-connection. First, we prove that a Lorentzian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric metric ω-connection with a parallel Cotton tensor is quasi-Einstein and Bach flat. Next, we show that any quasi-Einstein Lorentzian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric metric ω-connection is Bach flat.
