TL;DR: In this paper, it was proved that a Lorentzian manifold endowed with a semi-symmetric metric connection is a GRW spacetime and characterized the Ricci semisymmetric manifold.
Abstract: We set a type of semi-symmetric metric connection on the Lorentzian manifolds. It is proved that a Lorentzian manifold endowed with a semi-symmetric metric $$\rho $$ -connection is a GRW spacetime. We also characterize the Ricci semisymmetric Lorentzian manifold and study the solution of Eisenhart problem of finding the second order parallel (skew-)symmetric tensor on Lorentzian manifolds. Finally, we address physical interpretation of some geometric results of our paper.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if a contact metric manifold admits a quasi-Yamabe soliton whose soliton field is the V-Ric vector field, then the Ricci operator Q commutes with the (1, 1) tensor.
Abstract: We prove that a contact metric manifold does not admit a proper quasi-Yamabe soliton ($$M,\, g,\,\xi ,\,\lambda ,\,\mu $$). Next we prove that if a contact metric manifold admits a quasi-Yamabe soliton ($$M,\, g,\, V,\, \lambda ,\, \mu $$) whose soliton field is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field, then the scalar curvature is constant, and the quasi-Yamabe soliton reduces to Yamabe soliton. Finally, it is shown that if a contact metric manifold admits a quasi-Yamabe soliton whose soliton field is the V-Ric vector field, then the Ricci operator Q commutes with the (1, 1) tensor $$\phi $$. As a consequence of the main result we obtain several corollaries.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the metric of a non-cosymplectic normal almost contact metric manifold is Riemann soliton with divergence-free potential vector field (Z), then the manifold is quasi-Sakian and is of constant sectional curvature -$\lambda.
Abstract: The quest of the offering article is to investigate \emph{almost Riemann soliton} and \emph{gradient almost Riemann soliton} in a non-cosymplectic normal almost contact metric manifold $M^3$. Before all else, it is proved that if the metric of $M^3$ is Riemann soliton with divergence-free potential vector field $Z$, then the manifold is quasi-Sasakian and is of constant sectional curvature -$\lambda$, provided $\alpha,\beta =$ constant. Other than this, it is shown that if the metric of $M^3$ is \emph{ARS} and $Z$ is pointwise collinear with $\xi $ and has constant divergence, then $Z$ is a constant multiple of $\xi $ and the \emph{ARS} reduces to a Riemann soliton, provided $\alpha,\;\beta =$constant. Additionally, it is established that if $M^3$ with $\alpha,\; \beta =$ constant admits a gradient \emph{ARS} $(\gamma,\xi,\lambda)$, then the manifold is either quasi-Sasakian or is of constant sectional curvature $-(\alpha^2-\beta^2)$. At long last, we develop an example of $M^3$ conceding a Riemann soliton.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider a quarter-symmetric metric connection in a P-Sasakian manifold and study the second order parallel tensor in a p-SASAKian manifold.
Abstract: The authors consider a quarter-symmetric metric connection in a P-Sasakian manifold and study the second order parallel tensor in a P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Then Ricci semisymmetric P-Sasakian manifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection is considered. Next the authors study ξ-concircularly flat P-Sasakian manifolds and concircularly semisymmetric P-Sasakian manifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Furthermore, the authors study P-Sasakian manifolds satisfying the condition $$\tilde Z(\xi ,Y) \cdot \tilde S = 0$$, where $$\tilde Z, \tilde S$$ are the concircular curvature tensor and Ricci tensor respectively with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection. Finally, an example of a 5-dimensional P-Sasakian manifold admitting quarter-symmetric metric connection is constructed.

As a consequence we obtain several corollaries. Moreover we study gradient almost Ricci solitons.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the critical point equation conjecture on almost Kenmotsu manifolds and proved that if a three-dimensional almost-k,\mu)-manifold satisfies the conjecture, then the manifold is either locally isometric to the product space or is a kinematic manifold.
Abstract: We study the critical point equation $(CPE)$ conjecture on almost Kenmotsu manifolds. First, we prove that if a three-dimensional $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifold satisfies the $CPE,$ then the manifold is either locally isometric to the product space $\mathbb H^2(-4)\times\mathbb R$ or the manifold is Kenmotsu manifold. Further, we prove that if the metric of an almost Kenmotsu manifold with conformal Reeb foliation satisfies the $CPE$ conjecture, then the manifold is Einstein.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of concircular flatness and symmetry of a warped product manifold on its fiber and base manifolds are investigated, and the divergence-free concircularity curvature tensor on warped product manifolds is considered.
Abstract: This study aims mainly at investigating the effects of concircular flatness and concircular symmetry of a warped product manifold on its fiber and base manifolds. Concircularly flat and concircularly symmetric warped product manifolds are investigated. The divergence-free concircular curvature tensor on warped product manifolds is considered. Finally, we apply some of these results to generalized Robertson–Walker and standard static space-times.

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if a 3D para-Sasakian manifold admits gradient almost Ricci soliton under certain conditions then either the manifold is of constant sectional curvature $-1$ or it reduces to a gradient Ricci Soliton.
Abstract: The object of the offering exposition is to study almost Ricci soliton and gradient almost Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifolds. At first, it is shown that if $(g, V,\lambda)$ be an almost Ricci soliton on a 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold $M$, then it reduces to a Ricci soliton and the soliton is expanding for $\lambda$=-2. Besides these, in this section, we prove that if $V$ is pointwise collinear with $\xi$, then $V$ is a constant multiple of $\xi$ and the manifold is of constant sectional curvature $-1$. Moreover, it is proved that if a 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifold admits gradient almost Ricci soliton under certain conditions then either the manifold is of constant sectional curvature $-1$ or it reduces to a gradient Ricci soliton. Finally, we consider an example to justify some results of our paper.
