p. 253 - 263 Characterizations of twisted product manifolds to be warped product manifolds S. Kazan and B. Sahin Received: October 30, 2012; Accepted: May 7, 2013 Abstract. In this paper, we give characterizations of a twisted product manifold to be a warped product manifold by imposing certain conditions on the Weyl conformal curvature tensor and the Weyl projective tensor. We also find similar results for multiply twisted product manifolds.
