A rigidity result for a class of compact generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds with constant scalar curvature is obtained. Moreover, under some geometric assumptions, the rigidity for the non-compact case is also proved. Considering non constant scalar curvature, we characterize the generalized quasi-Einstein manifolds which is conformal to the Euclidean space and we show that there exist two classes of complete manifolds, which are obtained by considering potential functions and conformal factors either to be radial or invariant under the action of an (n-1) dimensional translation group. Explicit examples are given. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
