Abstract Let (M, g) be a non-Kenmotsu (κ, μ)′-almost Kenmotsu manifold of dimension 2n + 1. In this paper, we prove that if the metric g of M is a *-Ricci soliton, then either M is locally isometric to the product ℍn+1(−4)×ℝn or the potential vector field is strict infinitesimal contact transformation. Moreover, two concrete examples of (κ, μ)′-almost Kenmotsu 3-manifolds admitting a Killing vector field and strict infinitesimal contact transformation are given.

AbstractIn this paper, we study $$\eta$$ η -Ricci solitons on almost cosymplectic $$(k,\mu )$$ ( k , μ ) -manifolds. As an application, it is proved that if an almost cosymplectic $$(k,\mu )$$ ( k , μ ) -metric with $$k<0$$ k < 0 represents a Ricci soliton, then the potential vector field of the Ricci soliton is a strict infinitesimal contact transformation, and the corresponding almost cosymplectic manifold is locally isometric to a Lie group whose local structure is determined completely by $$k<0$$ k < 0 . In addition, a concrete example is constructed to illustrate the above result.

Abstract In this paper, we consider *-Ricci soliton in the frame-work of Kenmotsu manifolds. First, we prove that if (M, g) is a Kenmotsu manifold and g is a *-Ricci soliton, then soliton constant λ is zero. For 3-dimensional case, if M admits a *-Ricci soliton, then we show that M is of constant sectional curvature –1. Next, we show that if M admits a *-Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is collinear with the characteristic vector field ξ, then M is Einstein and soliton vector field is equal to ξ. Finally, we prove that if g is a gradient almost *-Ricci soliton, then either M is Einstein or the potential vector field is collinear with the characteristic vector field on an open set of M. We verify our result by constructing examples for both *-Ricci soliton and gradient almost *-Ricci soliton.

In this paper, we study Eta-Ricci soliton (η-Ricci soliton) on three dimensional N(k)-paracontact metric manifolds. We prove that the scalar curvature of an N(k)-paracontact metric manifold admitting η-Ricci solitons is constant and the manifold is of constant curvature k. Also, we prove that such manifolds are Einstein. Moreover, we show the condition of that the η-Ricci soliton to be expanding, steady or shrinking. In such a case we prove that the potential vector field is Killing vector field. Also, we show that the potential vector field is an infinitesimal automorphism or it leaves the structure tensor in the direction perpendicular to the Reeb vector field ξ. Finally, we illustrate an example of a three dimensional N(k)-paracontact metric manifold admitting an η-Ricci soliton

We consider a general notion of an almost Ricci soliton and establish some curvature properties for the case in which the potential vector field of the soliton is a generalized geodesic or a 2-Killing vector field. In this vein, we characterize trivial generalized Ricci solitons.

Fix ξ a unitary vector field on a Riemannian manifold M and γ a non-geodesic Frenet curve on M satisfying the Rytov law of polarization optics. We prove in these conditions that γ is a Legendre curve for ξ if and only if the γ-Fermi–Walker covariant derivative of ξ vanishes. The cases when γ is circle or helix as well as ξ is (conformal) Killing vector filed or potential vector field of a Ricci soliton are analyzed and an example involving a three-dimensional warped metric is provided. We discuss also K-(para)contact, particularly (para)Sasakian, manifolds and hypersurfaces in complex space forms.

The object of the present paper is to characterize quasi-conformally flat and $\xi$-quasi-conformally flat almost Kenmotsu manifolds with  $(k,\mu)$-nullity and $(k,\mu)'$-nullity distributions respectively. Also we characterize almost Kenmotsu manifolds with vanishing extended quasi-conformal curvature tensor and extended $\xi$-quasi-conformally flat almost Kenmotsu manifolds such that the characteristic vector field $\xi$ belongs to the $(k,\mu)$-nullity distribution.

Abstract We prove that on a K-contact manifold, a Ricci almost soliton is a Ricci soliton if and only if the potential vector field V is a Jacobi field along the Reeb vector field ξ. Then we study contact metric as a Ricci almost soliton with parallel Ricci tensor. To this end, we consider Ricci almost solitons whose potential vector field is a contact vector field and prove some rigidity results.

In this paper, we study some curvature problems of Ricci solitons in α-Kenmotsu manifold. It is shown that a symmetric parallel second order-covariant tensor in a α-Kenmotsu manifold is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Using this result, it is shown that if (Lvg + 2S) is parallel where V is a given vector field, then the structure (g, V, λ) yield a Ricci soliton. Further, by virtue of this result, Ricci solitons for n-dimentional α-Kenmotsu manifolds are obtained. In the last section, we discuss Ricci soliton for 3-dimentional α-Kenmotsu manifolds.

If the metric of an almost Kenmotsu manifold with conformal Reeb foliation is a gradient Ricci soliton, then it is an Einstein metric and the Ricci soliton is expanding. Moreover, let (M2n+1,?,?,?,g) be an almost Kenmotsu manifold with ? belonging to the (k,?)?-nullity distribution and h h?0. If the metric g of M2n+1 is a gradient Ricci soliton, then M2n+1 is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a at n-dimensional manifold, also, the Ricci soliton is expanding with ? = 4n.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that if an almost co-Kähler manifold of dimension greater than three satisfying $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$-Einstein condition with constant coefficients is a Ricci soliton with potential vector field being of constant length, then either the manifold is Einstein or the Reeb vector field is parallel. Let $M$ be a non-co-Kähler almost co-Kähler 3-manifold such that the Reeb vector field $\unicode[STIX]{x1D709}$ is an eigenvector field of the Ricci operator. If $M$ is a Ricci soliton with transversal potential vector field, then it is locally isometric to Lie group $E(1,1)$ of rigid motions of the Minkowski 2-space.
