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 Let (M3, g) be an almost Kenmotsu 3-manifold such that the Reeb vector field is an eigenvector field of the Ricci operator. In this paper, we prove that if g represents a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is orthogonal to the Reeb vector field, then M3 is locally isometric to either the hyperbolic space ℍ3(−1) or a non-unimodular Lie group equipped with a left invariant non-Kenmotsu almost Kenmotsu structure. In particular, when g represents a gradient Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is orthogonal to the Reeb vector field, then M3 is locally isometric to either ℍ3(−1) or ℍ2(−4) × ℝ.

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 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.

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 characterize trivial Ricci solitons. We observe the important role of the energy function f of a Ricci soliton (half the squared length of the potential vector field) in the charectrization of trivial Ricci solitons. We find three characterizations of connected trivial Ricci solitons by imposing different restrictions on the energy function. We also use Hessian of the potential function to characterize compact trivial Ricci solitons. Finally, we show that a solution of a Poisson equation is the energy function f of a compact Ricci soliton if and only if the Ricci soliton is trivial.

Abstract We consider almost $$*$$ ∗ -Ricci solitons in the context of paracontact geometry, precisely, on a paraKenmotsu manifold. First, we prove that if the metric g of $$\eta $$ η -Einstein paraKenmotsu manifold is $$*$$ ∗ Ricci soliton, then M is Einstein. Next, we show that if $$\eta $$ η -Einstein paraKenmotsu manifold admits a gradient almost $$*$$ ∗ -Ricci soliton, then either M is Einstein or the potential vector field collinear with Reeb vector field $$\xi $$ ξ . Finally, for three-dimensional case we show that paraKenmotsu manifold is of constant curvature $$-1$$ - 1 . An illustrative example is given to support the obtained results.

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.
