Gradient almost Ricci solitons on multiply warped product manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate multiply warped product manifold \[M =B\times_{b_1} F_1\times_{b_2} F_2\times_{b_3} \ldots \times_{b_m} F_m\] as a gradient almost Ricci soliton. Taking $b_i=b$ for $1\leq i \leq m$ lets us to deduce that potential field depends on $B$. With this idea we also get a rigidity result and show that base is a generalized quasi-Einstein manifold if $\nabla b$ is conformal.
