In this paper, we firstly define the Ricci mean value along the gradient vector field of the Ricci potential function and show that it is non-negative on a compact Ricci soliton. Furthermore a Ricci soliton is Einstein if and only if its Ricci mean value is vanishing. Finally, we obtain a compact Ricci soliton $(M^n,g)(n{\geq}3)$ is Einstein if its Weyl curvature tensor and the Kulkarni-Nomizu product of Ricci curvature are orthogonal.

The aim of the present paper is to study some solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds. We study gradient Yamabe solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds. It is proved that if the metric of a three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifold is gradient Einstein soliton then ${\mu}={\frac{2{\kappa}}{{\kappa}-2}}$. It is shown that if the metric of a three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifold is closed m-quasi Einstein metric then ${\kappa}={\frac{\lambda}{m+2}}$ and 𝜇 = 0. We also study conformal gradient Ricci solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds.

In this article, we consider a real hypersurface of complex two-plane Grassmannians $G_2({\mathbb{C}}^{m+2})$, $m{\geq}3$, admitting commuting ${\ast}$-Ricci and pseudo anti-commuting ${\ast}$-Ricci tensor, respectively. As the applications, we prove that there do not exist ${\ast}$-Einstein metrics on Hopf hypersurfaces as well as ${\ast}$-Ricci solitons whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field on any real hypersurfaces.

In this paper, we study vanishing properties for $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms on a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton. We prove that if (M, g, f) is a complete oriented noncompact gradient shrinking Ricci soliton with potential function f, then there are no non-trivial $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms which are orthogonal to df. Second, we show that if the scalar curvature of the metric g is greater than or equal to (n - 2)/2, then there are no non-trivial $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms on (M, g). We also show that any multiplication of the total differential df by a function cannot be an $L^2$ harmonic 1-form unless it is trivial. Finally, we derive various integral properties involving the potential function f and $L^2$ harmonic 1-forms, and handle their applications.

In this paper, we prove that a gradient shrinking Ricci soliton is rigid if the radial curvature vanishes and the second order divergence of Bach tensor is non-positive. Moreover, we show that a complete non-compact gradient expanding Ricci soliton is rigid if the radial curvature vanishes, the Ricci curvature is nonnegative and the second order divergence of Bach tensor is nonnegative.

In this paper, we studied several geometrical aspects of a perfect fluid spacetime admitting a Ricci ρ-soliton and an η-Ricci ρ-soliton. Beside this, we consider the velocity vector of the perfect fluid space time as a gradient vector and obtain some Poisson equations satisfied by the potential function of the gradient solitons.

The object of the present paper is to study some types of Ricci pseudosymmetric $(LCS)_n$-manifolds whose metric is Ricci soliton. We found the conditions when Ricci soliton on concircular Ricci pseudosymmetric, projective Ricci pseudosymmetric, $W_3$-Ricci pseudosymmetric, conharmonic Ricci pseudosymmetric, conformal Ricci pseudosymmetric $(LCS)_n$-manifolds to be shrinking, steady and expanding. We also construct an example of concircular Ricci pseudosymmetric $(LCS)_3$-manifold whose metric is Ricci soliton.

In this paper we consider a condition on the Ricci curvature involving vector fields which enabled us to achieve new results for volume comparison and Laplacian comparison. These results in special case obtained with considering volume non-collapsing condition. Also, by applying this condition we get new results of volume comparison for almost Ricci solitons.
