e main aim of this study is to investigate the effects of the P−curvature flatness, P−divergence-free characteristic, and
P−symmetry of a warped product manifold on its base and fiber (factor) manifolds. It is proved that the base and the fiber
manifolds of the P−curvature flat warped manifold are Einstein manifold. Besides that, the forms of the P−curvature tensor on
the base and the fiber manifolds are obtained. e warped product manifold with P−divergence-free characteristic is investigated,
and amongst many results, it is proved that the factor manifolds are of constant scalar curvature. Finally, P−symmetric warped
product manifold is considered.
1. Introduction
Curvature tensors play a significant role in mathematics and
physics. is is why many researchers have introduced and
studied many curvature tensors in various ways, as well as
they have shown the importance of these curvature tensors.
For instance, the deviation of a space from constant cur-
vature is measured by the concircular curvature tensor (for
more details, see [1]). e Weyl curvature tensor describes
the distorting but volume-preserving tidal effects of gravi-
tation on a material body.
e P−curvature tensor was first coined by De et al. in
2021 [2]. is curvature tensor is a good generalization of
projective [3], conharmonic [4], M−projective [5], and the set
of W
i
−curvature tensors which was introduced by Pokhariyal
and Mishra [6–10]. is curvature tensor is given by

the Ricci tensor [2]. e authors studied this curvature tensor
on pseudo-Riemannian manifolds and space times of general
relativity. It is proved that pseudo-Riemannian manifolds M
will be Einstein manifold if M admits a traceless P−curvature
tensor and will be of constant scalar curvature if M is of
P−curvature flat. Pseudo-Riemannian manifolds with
P−divergence-free characteristic were investigated in Gray’s
seven subspaces. As a final point, they studied perfect fluid
space times when the P−curvature tensor is flat, and in this
case, many interesting results are obtained.
Geometers have considered all well-known curvature
tensors on the warped product manifolds. For instance,
