Abstract

We study symmetric Killing 2-tensors on Riemannian manifolds. We show that several additional conditions can be realized only for Sasakian manifolds and Euclidean spheres. In particular we recover a result of S. Gallot on the characterization of spheres by means of functions satisfying a certain differential equation of order three.
