Abstract:

In this paper, using special metric deformations introduced by Aubin, we construct Riemannian metrics satisfying non-vanishing conditions on the Weyl tensor, on every closed manifolds. In particular, in dimension four, we show that there are no topological obstructions for the existence of metrics with non-vanishing Bach tensor.
