On Warped Product Gradient Yamabe Solitons

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to study gradient Yamabe soliton on warped product manifolds. First, we prove triviality results in the case of noncompact base with limited warping function, and for compact base. In order to provide nontrivial examples, we consider the base conformal to a semi-Euclidean space, which is invariant under the action of a translation group, and then we characterize steady solitons. We use this method to give infinitely many explicit examples of complete steady gradient Yamabe solitons.
