Diameter estimate for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds

Abstract

: In this paper, we discuss the lower diameter estimate for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds which are closely related to the conformal geometry. Using the Bochner formula and the Hopf maximum principle, we get a gradient estimate for the potential function of the manifold. Based on the gradient estimate, we get the lower diameter estimate for this class of generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds.
