We show that a compact contact Ricci soliton with a potential vector field V collinear with the Reeb vector field, is Einstein. We also show that a homogeneous H-contact gradient Ricci soliton is locally isometric to En+1 × Sn(4). Finally we obtain conditions so that the horizontal and tangential lifts of a vector field on the base manifold may be potential vector fields of a Ricci soliton on the unit tangent bundle.

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 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.

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 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.

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

In this paper, we study almost coKähler manifolds admitting [Formula: see text]-almost Yamabe solitons [Formula: see text]. First, we obtain a classification of almost coKähler [Formula: see text]-manifolds admitting nontrivial closed [Formula: see text]-almost Yamabe solitons. Next, we consider an almost [Formula: see text]-coKähler manifold admitting a nontrivial [Formula: see text]-almost Yamabe soliton and prove that it is locally the Riemannian product of an almost Kähler manifold with the real line if the potential vector field [Formula: see text] is collinear with the Reeb vector field. For the potential vector field [Formula: see text] being orthogonal to the Reeb vector field, we also obtain two results.

The purpose of this paper is to study Ricci almost soliton and gradient Ricci almost soliton in $(k,\mu)$-paracontact metric manifolds. We prove the non-existence of Ricci almost soliton in a $(k,\mu)$-paracontact metric manifold $M$ with $k<-1$ or $k>-1$ and whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field $\xi$. Further, if the metric $g$ of a $(k,\mu)$-paracontact metric manifold $M^{2n+1}$ with $k\neq-1$ is a gradient Ricci almost soliton, then we prove either the manifold is locally isometric to a product of a flat $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold and an $n$-dimensional manifold of negative constant curvature equal to $-4$, or, $M^{2n+1}$ is an Einstein manifold.

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.
