Relative radial mass and rigidity of some warped product manifolds
Abstract
Description
We give a Riccati type formula adapted for two metrics having the same geodesics rays starting from a point or orthogonal to an hypersurface, one of these metrics being a warped product if the dimension $n$ is greater than or equal to 3. This formula has non-trivial geometric consequences such as a positive mass type theorem and other rigidity results. We also apply our result to some standard models.
