Consider a gradient Einstein-type metric in the setting of K-contact manifolds and (κ, µ)-contact manifolds. First, it is proved that, if a complete K-contact manifold admits a gradient Einstein-type metric, then M is compact, Einstein, Sasakian and isometric to the unit sphere 𝕊²ⁿ⁺¹. Next, it is proved that, if a non-Sasakian (κ, µ)-contact manifolds admits a gradient Einstein-type metric, then it is flat in dimension 3, and for higher dimension, M is locally isometric to the product of a Euclidean space 𝔼ⁿ⁺¹ and a sphere 𝕊ⁿ(4) of constant curvature +4.

In this paper, we study Einstein-type manifolds generalizing static spaces and V-static spaces. We prove that if an Einstein-type manifold has non-positive complete divergence of its Weyl tensor and non-negative complete divergence of Bach tensor, then M has harmonic Weyl curvature. Also similar results on an Einstein-type manifold with complete divergence of Riemann tensor are proved.

The aim of the paper is to study some geometric properties of weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Weakly Z-symmetric manifolds with Codazzi type and cyclic parallel Z tensor are studied. We consider Einstein weakly Z-symmetric manifolds and conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds. Next, it is shown that a totally umbilical hypersurface of a conformally flat weakly Z-symmetric manifolds is of quasi constant curvature. Also, decomposable weakly Z-symmetric manifolds are studied and some examples are constructed to support the existence of such manifolds.

The purpose of this note is to introduce a type of Riemannian manifold called an almost quasi Ricci symmetric manifold and investigate the several properties of such a manifold on which some geometric conditions are imposed. And the existence of such a manifold is ensured by a proper example.

In the present paper, we study 𝜂-Ricci solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifolds with Codazzi type of the Ricci tensor. We study 𝜂-Ricci solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifolds with cyclic parallel Ricci tensor. We also study 𝜂-Ricci solitons on 𝜑-conformally semi-symmetric, 𝜑-Ricci symmetric and conformally Ricci semi-symmetric para-Kenmotsu manifolds. Finally, we construct an example of a three-dimensional para-Kenmotsu manifold which admits 𝜂-Ricci solitons.

In this paper, we study a type of Riemannian manifold, namely quasi Ricci symmetric manifold. Among others, we show that the scalar curvature of a quasi Ricci symmetric manifold is constant. In addition if the manifold is Einstein, then its Ricci tensor is zero. Also we prove that if the associated vector field of a quasi Ricci symmetric manifold is either recurrent or concurrent, then its Ricci tensor is zero.

The object of the present paper is to introduce a type of non-flat Riemannian manifold, called a weakly cyclic generalized B-symmetric manifold (W CGBS)_n. We obtain a sufficient condition for a weakly cyclic generalized B-symmetric manifold to be a generalized quasi Einstein manifold. Next we consider conformally flat weakly cyclic generalized B-symmetric manifolds. Then we study Einstein (W CGBS)_n (n > 2). Finally, it is shown that the semi-symmetry and Weyl semi-symmetry are equivalent in such a manifold.

The object of the present paper is to characterize 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds of type (α, β) admitting ∗-Ricci solitons and ∗-gradient Ricci solitons. Under certain restrictions on the smooth functions α and β, we have proved that a trans-Sasakian 3-manifold of type (α, β) admitting a ∗-Ricci soliton reduces to a β-Kenmotsu manifold and admitting a ∗-gradient Ricci soliton is either flat or ∗-Einstein or it becomes a β-Kenmotsu manifold. Also an illustrative example is presented to verify our results.
