generalized warped product

205 Views Asked by At

Let $(M_1,g_1)$, $(M_2,g_2)$ denote two Riemannian manifolds, let $(I,dt^2)$ be the unit interval with its standard metric.

I would like to study the manifold $(M,g)$ where $M = I \times (M_1 \times M_2)$ and $g = dt^2 + f_1^2(t)g_1 + f^2_2(t)g_2$, (i.e. each metric component is multiplied by a positive factor $f^2_i > 0$ depending only on $t$.

I was wondering whether there a good reference for this kind of problem, so far I have found a lot of material on warped products (which looks similar) but had little success with regards to the above setting.

Many thanks for your help!
