Abstract The object of the present paper is to study Ricci soliton in β-Kenmotsu manifolds. Here it is proved that a symmetric parallel second order covariant tensor in a β-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) yields a Ricci soliton. Further, by virtue of this result, we found the conditions of Ricci soliton in β-Kenmotsu manifold to be shrinking, steady and expending respectively. Next, Ricci soliton for 3-dimensional β-Kenmotsu manifold are discussed with an example.

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.

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.

Abstract The object of the present paper is to study generalized weakly symmetric and generalized weakly Ricci symmetric Kenmotsu manifolds whose metric tensor is η-Ricci soliton. The paper also aims to bring out curvature conditions for which η-Ricci solitons in Kenmotsu manifolds are sometimes shrinking or expanding and some other time remain steady. The existence of each generalized weakly symmetric and generalized weakly Ricci symmetric Kenmotsu manifold is ensured by an example.

The object of the present research is to study the (ϵ,δ)-TransSasakian manifolds addmitting the η-Ricci Solitons. It is shown that a sym-metric second order covariant tensor in an (ϵ,δ)-Trans Sasakian manifold isa constant multiple of metric tensor. Also an example of η-Ricci soliton in3-diemsional (ϵ,δ)-Trans Sasakian manifold is provided in the region where(ϵ,δ)-Trans Sasakian manifold expanding.

The objective of the present research article is to study the $\delta$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds conceding the $\eta$-Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci soliton. We shown that a symmetric second order covariant tensor in a $\delta$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold is a constant multiple of metric tensor. Also, we furnish an example of $\eta$-Ricci soliton on 3-diemsional $\delta$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold is provide in the region where $\delta$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold is expanding. Furthermore, we discuss some results based on gradient Ricci solitons on $3$-dimensional $\delta$- Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold.

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.

A Kenmotsu manifold with a given N-connection is considered. From the integrability of the distribution of a Kenmotsu manifold it follows that the N-connection belongs to the class of the quarter-symmetric connections. Among the N-connections, the class of connections adapted to the structure of the Kenmotsu manifold is specified. In particular, it is proved that an N-connection preserves the structure endomorphism φ of the Kenmotsu manifold if and only if the endomorphisms N and φ commute. A formula expressing the N-connection in terms of the Levi-Civita connection is obtained. The Chrystoffel symbols of the Levi-Civita connection and of the N-connection of the Kenmotsu manifold with respect to the adapted coordinates are computed. The properties of the invariants of the interior geometry of the Kenmotsu manifolds are investigated. The invariants of the interior geometry are the following: the Schouten curvature tensor; the 1-form  defining the distribution D; the Lie derivative 0   L g of the metric tensor g along the vector field ;  the tensor field P with the components given with respect to the adapted coordinate system by the formula Pacd  ncad . The field P is called in the work the Schouten — Wagner tensor. It is proved that the Schouten — Wagner tensor of the interior connection of the Kenmotsu manifold is zero. The conditions that satisfies the endomorphism N defining the metric N-connection are found. At the end of the work, an example of a Kenmotsu manifold with a metric N-connection preserving the structure endomorphism φ is given.

In this paper, we prove that if there exists a second order symmetric parallel tensor on an almost Kenmotsu manifold (M2n+1, ?, ?, ?, g) whose characteristic vector field ? belongs to the (k,?)'-nullity distribution, then either M2n+1 is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an (n+1)-dimensional manifold of constant sectional curvature -4 and a flat n-dimensional manifold, or the second order parallel tensor is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor of M2n+1. Furthermore, some properties of an almost Kenmotsu manifold admitting a second order parallel tensor with ? belonging to the (k,?)-nullity distribution are also obtained.

We study Ricci solitons in -Sasakian manifolds and show that it is a shrinking or expanding soliton and the manifold is Einstein with Killing vector field. Further, we prove that if is conformal Killilng vector field, then the Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional -Sasakian manifolds is shrinking or expanding but cannot be steady.
