Mainly, we prove that the Ricci operator Q of an 3-dimensional almost paracosymplectic manifold M is invariant along the Reeb flow, that is M satisfies L?Q = 0 if and only if M is an almost paracosymplectic k-manifold with k ? -1.

SynopsisThis is a contribution to the general problem of determining the extent to which the geometry of a riemannian manifold is determined by properties of its geodesic spheres. In particular we show that total umbilicity of geodesic spheres determines riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature; quasi-umbilicity of geodesic spheres determines Kähler and nearly-Kähler manifolds of constant holomorphic sectional curvature; and the condition that geodesic spheres have only two different principal curvatures, one having multiplicity 3, determines manifolds locally isometric to the quaternionic projective spaces. The use of Jacobi vector fields leads to a unified treatment of these different cases.

Let M be a three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold of type ( α , β ) . In this paper, we obtain that the Ricci operator of M is invariant along Reeb flow if and only if M is an α -Sasakian manifold, cosymplectic manifold or a space of constant sectional curvature. Applying this, we give a new characterization of proper trans-Sasakian 3-manifolds.

AbstractIn this paper we establish an integral formula for compact hypersurfaces in non-flat space forms, and apply it to derive some interesting applications. In particular, we obtain a characterization of geodesic spheres in terms of a relationship between the scalar curvature of the hypersurface and the size of its Gauss map image. We also derive an inequality involving the average scalar curvature of the hypersurface and the radius of a geodesic ball in the ambient space containing the hypersurface, characterizing the geodesic spheres as those for which equality holds.

In this paper we study 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds satisfying certain conditions on the tensor fields *-Ricci tensorS*, h(= ½Lξφ), τ(= Lξg = 2hφ) and the Ricci operator Q. First, we prove that a 3-dimensional non-Sasakian contact metric manifold satisfies. [Formula: see text] (where ⊕X,Y,Z denotes the cyclic sum over X,Y,Z) if and only if M is a generalized (κ, μ)-space. Next, we prove that a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold with vanishing *-Ricci tensor is a generalized (κ, μ)-space. Finally, some results on 3-dimensional contact metric manifold with cyclic η-parallel h or cyclic η-parallel τ or η-parallel Ricci tensor are presented.
