Gro Kv?le,Charlotte Kiland,Dag Olaf TorjesenThis chapter introduces some important space-times of general relativity, then describes their kinematics, Einstein’s field equations and energy conditions. Subsequently, it provides characterizations and classifications of space-times (in general, Lorentzian manifolds) that admit conformal (including Killing and homothetic) vector fields.

Ronald Barnett Prof., Ph.D., D.Lit.This chapter starts with Yamabe problem, and then describes the Yamabe flow and Yamabe solitons. Finally, it provides characterizations of Yamabe almost solitons and also contact metrics as Yamabe solitons.

Lie Group and Lie Derivative,This chapter begins with a brief review of Lie groups and their Lie algebras. Subsequently, it introduces the notion of the Lie derivative, its properties and closes with formulas showing the deviation from commutativity of Lie and covariant derivatives.

Conformal Vector Fields,This chapter is devoted to conformal Killing vector fields, their integrability conditions, their zeros and Lichnerowicz conjecture on semi-Riemannian and CR manifolds.

Ricci Solitons,This chapter provides the basic theory of Ricci flow, Ricci solitons, their examples, important properties and known results.

Ricci Almost Solitons and Generalized Quasi-Einstein Manifolds,This chapter gives a coverage on Ricci almost soliton and its characterization and classification when it is compact, or contact metric. Next, it describes Generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds, its properties and classifications under various geometric conditions.
