Curvature of multiply warped products with an affine connection

Abstract

In this paper, westudy the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and the multiply warp\-ed products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply warped products with an affine connection with a zero torsion.

Keywords: multiply warped products, semi-symmetric non-metric connection, Ricci tensor, scalar curvature, Einstein manifolds
