We characterize manifolds which are locally conformally equivalent to either complex projective space or to its negative curvature dual in terms of their Weyl curvature tensor. As a byproduct of this investigation, we classify the conformally complex space forms if the dimension is at least 8. We also study when the Jacobi operator associated to the Weyl conformal curvature tensor of a Riemannian manifold has constant eigenvalues on the bundle of unit tangent vectors and classify such manifolds which are not conformally flat in dimensions congruent to 2 mod 4.

We characterize Osserman and conformally Osserman Riemannian manifolds with the local structure of a warped product. By means of this approach we analyze the twisted product structure and obtain, as a consequence, that the only Osserman manifolds which can be written as a twisted product are those of constant curvature.

We address the problem of determining the hypersurfaces $fcolon M^{n} to mathbb{Q}_s^{n+1}(c)$ with dimension $ngeq 3$ of a pseudo-Riemannian space form of dimension $n+1$, constant curvature $c$ and index $sin {0, 1}$ for which there exists another isometric immersion $tilde{f}colon M^{n} to mathbb{Q}^{n+1}_{tilde s}(tilde{c})$ with $tilde{c} eq c$. For $ngeq 4$, we provide a complete solution by extending results for $s=0=tilde s$ by do Carmo and Dajczer and by Dajczer and the second author. Our main results are for the most interesting case $n=3$, and these are new even in the Riemannian case $s=0=tilde s$. In particular, we characterize the solutions that have dimension $n=3$ and three distinct principal curvatures. We show that these are closely related to conformally flat hypersurfaces of $mathbb{Q}_s^{4}(c)$ with three distinct principal curvatures, and we obtain a similar characterization of the latter that improves a theorem by Hertrich-Jeromin. We also derive a Ribaucour transformation for both classes of hypersurfaces, which gives a process to produce a family of new elements of those classes, starting from a given one, in terms of solutions of a linear system of PDEs. This enables us to construct explicit examples of three-dimensional solutions of the problem, as well as new explicit examples of three-dimensional conformally flat hypersurfaces that have three distinct principal curvatures.
In this note, we study the dynamics and associated zeta functions of conformally compact manifolds with variable negative sectional curvatures. We begin with a discussion of a larger class of manifolds known as convex co-compact manifolds with variable negative curvature. Applying results from dynamics on these spaces, we obtain optimal meromorphic extensions of weighted dynamical zeta functions and asymptotic counting estimates for the number of weighted closed geodesics. A meromorphic extension of the standard dynamical zeta function and the prime orbit theorem follow as corollaries. Finally, we investigate interactions between the dynamics and spectral theory of these spaces.
We show that locally conformally flat quasi-Einstein manifolds are globally conformally equivalent to a space form or locally isometric to a $pp$-wave or a warped product.
We find the index of $widetilde{ abla}$-quasi-conformally symmetric and $widetilde{ abla}$-concircularly symmetric semi-Riemannian manifolds, where $widetilde{ abla}$ is metric connection.
