This paper is concerned with the study of [Formula: see text]-manifolds and Ricci solitons. It is shown that in a [Formula: see text]-spacetime, the fluid has vanishing vorticity and vanishing shear. It is found that in an [Formula: see text]-manifold, [Formula: see text] is an irrotational vector field, where [Formula: see text] is a non-zero smooth scalar function. It is proved that in a [Formula: see text]-spacetime with generator vector field [Formula: see text] obeying Einstein equation, [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] according to [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a scalar function and [Formula: see text] is the energy momentum tensor. Also, it is shown that if [Formula: see text] is a non-null spacelike (respectively, timelike) vector field on a [Formula: see text]-spacetime with scalar curvature [Formula: see text] and cosmological constant [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]), and [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text] (respectively, [Formula: see text]), and further [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text]. The nature of the scalar curvature of an [Formula: see text]-manifold admitting Yamabe soliton is obtained. Also, it is proved that an [Formula: see text]-manifold admitting [Formula: see text]-Ricci soliton is [Formula: see text]-Einstein and its scalar curvature is constant if and only if [Formula: see text] is constant. Further, it is shown that if [Formula: see text] is a scalar function with [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] vanishes, then the gradients of [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] are co-directional with the generator [Formula: see text]. In a perfect fluid [Formula: see text]-spacetime admitting [Formula: see text]-Ricci soliton, it is proved that the pressure density [Formula: see text] and energy density [Formula: see text] are constants, and if it agrees Einstein field equation, then we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the scalar curvature to be constant. If such a spacetime possesses Ricci collineation, then it must admit an almost [Formula: see text]-Yamabe soliton and the converse holds when the Ricci operator is of constant norm. Also, in a perfect fluid [Formula: see text]-spacetime satisfying Einstein equation, it is shown that if Ricci collineation is admitted with respect to the generator [Formula: see text], then the matter content cannot be perfect fluid, and further [Formula: see text] with gravitational constant [Formula: see text] implies that [Formula: see text] is a Killing vector field. Finally, in an [Formula: see text]-manifold, it is proved that if the [Formula: see text]-curvature tensor is conservative, then scalar potential and the generator vector field are co-directional, and if the manifold possesses pseudosymmetry due to the [Formula: see text]-curvature tensor, then it is an [Formula: see text]-Einstein manifold.

If [Formula: see text] is a 3-dimensional contact metric manifold such that [Formula: see text] which admits a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text] with the flow vector field [Formula: see text] pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field [Formula: see text], then we show that the scalar curvature is constant and the manifold is Sasakian. Moreover, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is endowed with a Yamabe soliton [Formula: see text], then either [Formula: see text] is flat or it has constant scalar curvature and the flow vector field [Formula: see text] is Killing. Furthermore, we show that if [Formula: see text] is non-flat, then either [Formula: see text] is a Sasakian manifold of constant curvature [Formula: see text] or [Formula: see text] is an infinitesimal automorphism of the contact metric structure on [Formula: see text].

Let $M$ be a Fano manifold. We call a Kähler metric ${\it\omega}\in c_{1}(M)$ a Kähler–Ricci soliton if it satisfies the equation $\text{Ric}({\it\omega})-{\it\omega}=L_{V}{\it\omega}$ for some holomorphic vector field $V$ on $M$. It is known that a necessary condition for the existence of Kähler–Ricci solitons is the vanishing of the modified Futaki invariant introduced by Tian and Zhu. In a recent work of Berman and Nyström, it was generalized for (possibly singular) Fano varieties, and the notion of algebrogeometric stability of the pair $(M,V)$ was introduced. In this paper, we propose a method of computing the modified Futaki invariant for Fano complete intersections in projective spaces.

A generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW) space-time is the generalization of the classical Robertson–Walker space-time. In the present paper, we show that a Ricci simple manifold with vanishing divergence of the conformal curvature tensor admits a proper concircular vector field and it is necessarily a GRW space-time. Further, we show that a stiff matter perfect fluid space-time or a mass-less scalar field with time-like gradient and with divergence-free Weyl tensor are GRW space-times.

A Ricci soliton (M, g, v, λ) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to have concurrent potential field if its potential field v is a concurrent vector field. Ricci solitons arisen from concurrent vector fields on Riemannian manifolds were studied recently in [Ricci solitons and concurrent vector fields, preprint (2014), arXiv:1407.2790]. The most important concurrent vector field is the position vector field on Euclidean submanifolds. In this paper we completely classify Ricci solitons on Euclidean hypersurfaces arisen from the position vector field of the hypersurfaces.

UDC 514.7 The object of the present paper is to study three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting η -Ricci soliton. Actually, we study such manifolds whose Ricci tensor satisfy some special conditions like cyclic parallelity, Ricci semisymmetry, ϕ -Ricci semisymmetry, after reviewing the properties of second order parallel tensors on such manifolds. We determine the form of Riemann curvature tensor of trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimension greater than three as Kagan subprojective spaces. We also give some classification results of trans-Sasakian manifolds of dimension greater than three as Kagan subprojective spaces.

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.

We study Ricci solitons in α-Sasakian manifolds. It is shown that a symmetric parallel second order-covariant tensor in a α-Sasakian manifold is a constant multiple of the metric tensor. Using this, it is shown that if ℒVg+2S is parallel where V is a given vector field, then (g,V,λ) is Ricci soliton. Further, by virtue of this result, Ricci solitons for n-dimensional α-Sasakian manifolds are obtained. Next, Ricci solitons for 3-dimensional α-Sasakian manifolds are discussed with an example.

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 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.

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci solitons. We prove that if (1,V, ?) is a Ricci soliton where V is collinear with the characteristic vector field ?, then V is a constant multiple of ? and the manifold is of constant scalar curvature provided ?, ? =constant. Next we prove that in a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with constant scalar curvature if 1 is a gradient Ricci soliton, then the manifold is either a ?-Kenmotsu manifold or an Einstein manifold. As a consequence of this result we obtain several corollaries.
