Critical point equation on a class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if a non-constant solution of the critical point equation of a connected non-compact manifold admits a nonconstant function, then the manifold is locally isometric to the Ricci flat manifold and the function is harmonic.
Abstract: In the present paper, we characterize $$(k,\mu )'$$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting $$*$$-critical point equation. It is shown that if $$(g, \lambda )$$ is a non-constant solution of the $$*$$-critical point equation of a connected non-compact $$(k,\mu )'$$-almost Kenmotsu manifold, then (1) the manifold M is locally isometric to $$\mathbb {H}^{n+1}(-4)$$$$\times $$$$\mathbb {R}^n$$, (2) the manifold M is $$*$$-Ricci flat and (3) the function $$\lambda $$ is harmonic. Finally an illustrative example is presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if a $(2n + 1)$-dimensiinal $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifold admits the Ricci soliton, then the manifold is locally isometric to a Ricci flat manifold.
Abstract: The goal of this paper is to characterize a class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting $\ast$-conformal Ricci soliton. It is shown that if a $(2n + 1)$-dimensiinal $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifold $M$ admits $\ast$-conformal Ricci soliton, then the manifold $M$ is $\ast$-Ricci flat and locally isometric to $\mathbb{H}^{n+1}(-4) \times \mathbb{R}^n$. The result is also verified by an example.

...l notions related to the ∗-Ricci tensor. In 2016, the notion of ∗-Ricci soliton ([13]) was introduced. Later in 2019, the notion of ∗-critical point equation [6] was introduced and further studied in [7]). In this paper, we study the notion of ∗-conformal Ricci soliton defined as Definition 1.1. A Riemannian manifold (M,g) of dimension (2n + 1) ≥ 3 is said to admit ∗-conformal Ricci soliton (g,V,λ) if ...

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterized a class of contact metric manifolds admitting a conformal Ricci soliton and showed that these manifolds are locally isometric to the Riemannian of a flat manifold of constant curvature.
Abstract: The aim of this paper is characterize a class of contact metric manifolds admitting $\ast$-conformal Ricci soliton. It is shown that if a $(2n + 1)$-dimensional $N(k)$-contact metric manifold $M$ admits $\ast$-conformal Ricci soliton or $\ast$-conformal gradient Ricci soliton, then the manifold M is $\ast$-Ricci at and locally isometric to the Riemannian of a flat $(n + 1)$-dimensional manifold and an $n$-dimensional manifold of constant curvature 4 for $n > 1$ and flat for $n = 1$. Further, for the first case, the soliton vector field is conformal and for the $\ast$-gradient case, the potential function $f$ is either harmonic or satisfy a Poisson equation. Finally, an example is presented to support the results.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider locally symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold and show that the manifold is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an n+1-dimensional manifold of constant curvature.
Abstract: We consider locally symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds showing that such a manifold is a Kenmotsu manifold if and only if the Lie derivative of the structure, with respect to the Reeb vector field $\xi$, vanishes. Furthermore, assuming that for a $(2n+1)$-dimensional locally symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifold such Lie derivative does not vanish and the curvature satisfies $R_{XY}\xi =0$ for any $X, Y$ orthogonal to $\xi$, we prove that the manifold is locally isometric to the Riemannian product of an $(n+1)$-dimensional manifold of constant curvature $-4$ and a flat $n$-dimensional manifold. We give an example of such a manifold.
