Abstract

Here, an extension of the complete non-compact Einstein-type manifolds is studied and shows that it has a finite fundamental group. This paper generalizes Wylie's results to the setting of extended Einstein-type manifolds for certain parameters. Some direct corollaries of this result are also pointed out. For instance, the sphere bundle $SM$ has a finite fundamental group. These findings not only generalize previous results but also offer new insights into the applications of Einstein-type manifolds across mathematics and physics, particularly in the structure of associated bundles and the behavior of geometric flows.
