摘要

We prove (Theorem 1.1.) that a class of quasi-Einstein structures on closed manifolds must admit a Killing vector field. This extends the rigidity theorem obtained in [20] for the extremal black hole horizons and completes the classification of compact quasi-Einstein 2-manifolds in this class. We also explore special cases of the quasi-Einstein equations related to integrability and the Hitchin equations, as well as to Einstein-Weyl structures and Kazdan-Warner type PDEs. This leads to novel explicit examples of quasi-Einstein structures on (non-compact) 2-manifolds and on \(S^2 \times S^1\) S 2 × S 1 .
