We will have a brief organizational meeting before the talk.

An n-dimensional Riemannian manifold is called m-Quasi Einstein if it is the base of a n+m dimensional warped product Einstein metric. I will introduce the equations and discuss an ongoing project to classify these objects under additional assumptions on curvature and symmetry. This is joint work with Chenxu He and Peter Petersen.
