Splitting theorem of Gradient $\rho$-Einstein solitons

Abstract

In this paper, we have proved a weighted Laplacian comparison of distance function for manifolds with Bakry-\'Emery curvature bounded from below. Next, we have shown that a gradient $\rho$-Einstein soliton with a bounded integral condition on Ricci curvature splits off a line isometrically. Moreover, using this result, we have established some boundedness conditions on scalar curvature of gradient $\rho$-Einstein soliton.
