-structures with negative Ricci curvature
We study existence problems for closed -structures with negative Ricci curvature, and we prove the -Goldberg conjecture for noncompact manifolds. We first show that no closed manifold admits a closed -structure with negative Ricci curvature. In the noncompact setting, we show that no complete manifold admits a closed -structure with Ricci curvature pinched sufficiently close to a negative constant. As a consequence, an Einstein closed -structure on a complete manifold must be torsion-free. In addition, when the Einstein metric is incomplete, we find restrictions on lengths of geodesics.
