Abstract

We prove that three-dimensional electrostatic manifolds with divergence-free Bach tensor are locally conformally flat, provided that the electric field and the gradient of the lapse function are linearly dependent. Consequently, a three-dimensional electrostatic manifold admits a local warped product structure with a one-dimensional base and a constant curvature surface fiber.
