TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that if the second fundamental form of a submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold is recurrent, 2-recurrent or generalized 2-Recurrent, then the sub manifold is totally geodesic.
Abstract: In this paper, we study submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds. We prove that if the second fundamental form of a submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold is recurrent, 2-recurrent or generalized 2-recurrent then the submanifold is totally geodesic. Furthermore, we show that a submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold with parallel third fundamental form is again totally geodesic. We also consider quasi-umbilical hypersurfaces of Kenmotsu space forms. We show that these type hypersurfaces are generalized quasi-Einstein.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied Yamabe soliton on a complete Kenmotsu manifold M and proved that it has warped product structure with constant scalar curvature in a region Σ where ∣Df∣ ≠ 0.
Abstract: Abstract In this paper, we study Yamabe soliton and quasi Yamabe soliton on Kenmotsu manifold. First, we prove that if a Kenmotsu metric is a Yamabe soliton, then it has constant scalar curvature. Examples has been provided on a larger class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds, known as β-Kenmotsu manifold. Next, we study quasi Yamabe soliton on a complete Kenmotsu manifold M and proved that it has warped product structure with constant scalar curvature in a region Σ where ∣Df∣ ≠ 0.

TL;DR: In this article, the first systematic investigation of manifolds that are Einstein for a connection with skew symmetric torsion was conducted, and the longest part of the paper is devoted to the systematic construction of large families of examples.
Abstract: This paper is devoted to the first systematic investigation of manifolds that are Einstein for a connection with skew symmetric torsion. We derive the Einstein equation from a variational principle and prove that, for parallel torsion, any Einstein manifold with skew torsion has constant scalar curvature; and if it is complete of positive scalar curvature, it is necessarily compact and it has finite first fundamental group. The longest part of the paper is devoted to the systematic construction of large families of examples. We discuss when a Riemannian Einstein manifold can be Einstein with skew torsion. We give examples of almost Hermitian, almost metric contact, and G2 manifolds that are Einstein with skew torsion. For example, we prove that any Einstein-Sasaki manifold and any 7-dimensional 3-Sasakian manifolds admit deformations into an Einstein metric with parallel skew torsion.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a first introduction to geometric structures on $TM\oplus T^*M. The paper contains definitions and characteristic properties of generalized complex, generalized Kaehler, generalized (normal, almost) contact and generalized Sasakian structures.
Abstract: This is an expository paper, which provides a first introduction to geometric structures on $TM\oplus T^*M$. The paper contains definitions and characteristic properties of generalized complex, generalized Kaehler, generalized (normal, almost) contact and generalized Sasakian structures. A few of these properties are new.
