The aim of present paper is to investigate 3-dimensional ${\xi}$-projectively flt and $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt normal almost paracontact metric manifolds. As a first step, we proved that if the 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is ${\xi}$-projectively flt then ${\Delta}{\beta}=0$. If additionally ${\beta}$ is constant then the manifold is ${\beta}$-para-Sasakian. Later, we proved that a 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt if and only if it is an Einstein manifold for ${\alpha},{\beta}=const$. Finally, we constructed an example to illustrate the results obtained in previous sections.

We show that the conharmonical1y flat K-contact find cosymplectic manifolds are local1y Euclidean. Evidently non locally Euclidean conharmonically flat Sasakian manifold does not exist. Moreover we see that conharmonically flat Kenmotsu manifold does not exist and conharmonically flat fibred quasi quasi Sasakian space is locally Euclidean if and only if the scalar curvature of each fibre vanishes identically.

The object of the present paper is to study the properties of conharmonically flat (LCS)_n-manifold, special weakly Ricci symmetric and generalized Ricci recurrent (LCS)_n-manifold. The existence of such a manifold is ensured by non-trivial example.

The first purpose of this paper is to study contact CR submanifolds of Sasakian manifolds and investigate some properties concernig with ${\phi}$-holomorphic bisectional curvature. The second purpose is to show an existence theorem of mixed foliate proper contact CR submanifolds in the standard Sasakian space form $E^{2m+1}$(-3) with constant ${\phi}$-sectional curvature -3.

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. Among others it is proved that a parallel symmetric (0, 2) tensor field in a 3-dimensional non-cosympletic normal almost contact metric manifold is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor and there does not exist a non-zero parallel 2-form. Also we obtain some equivalent conditions on a 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifold and we prove that if a 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifold which is not a ${\beta}$-Sasakian manifold satisfies cyclic parallel Ricci tensor, then the manifold is a manifold of constant curvature. Finally we prove the existence of such a manifold by a concrete example.

As a natural generalization of a Sasakian space form, we define a contact strongly pseudo-convex CR-space form (of constant pseudo-holomorphic sectional curvature) by using the Tanaka-Webster connection, which is a canonical affine connection on a contact strongly pseudo-convex CR-manifold. In particular, we classify a contact strongly pseudo-convex CR-space form $(M,\;\eta,\;\varphi)$ with the pseudo-parallel structure operator $h(=1/2L\xi\varphi)$, and then we obtain the nice form of their curvature tensors in proving Schurtype theorem, where $L\xi$ denote the Lie derivative in the characteristic direction $\xi$.

We study an (n+1)($(n{\geq}3)$-dimensional contact CR-submanifold of (n-1) contact CR-dimension in a (2m+1)-unit sphere $S^{2m+1}$, and to determine such sub manifolds under conditions concerning the second fundamental form and the induced almost contact structure.

We proved in [10] that Friedrich's estimate [5] for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator can be improved when a Codazzi tensor exists. In the paper we further prove that his estimate can be improved as well via a well-chosen divergencefree symmetric tensor. We study the geometric implication of the new first eigenvalue estimates over Sasakian spin manifolds and show that some particular types of spinors appear as the limiting case.
