The object of the present paper is to study a decomposable $(APS)_n$ and hypersurfaces of $(APS)_n$. Also, the existence of a decomposable $(APS)_n$ is ensured by a proper example.

The object of the present work is to study a generalized W₃ recurrent manifold. We obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the scalar curvature to be constant in such a manifold. Also, sufficient condition for generalized W₃ recurrent manifold to be special quasi-Einstein manifold are given. Ricci symmetric and decomposable generalized W₃ recurrent manifold are studied. Finally, the existence of such a manifold is ensured by a non-trivial example.

In this paper we introduce a new tensor named semi-projective curvature tensor which generalizes the projective curvature tensor. First we deduce some basic geometric properties of semi-projective curvature tensor. Then we study pseudo semi-projective symmetric manifolds $(PSPS)_n$ which recover some known results of Chaki [5]. We provide several interesting results. Among others we prove that in a $(PSPS)_n$ if the associated vector field ${\rho}$ is a unit parallel vector field, then either the manifold reduces to a pseudosymmetric manifold or pseudo projective symmetric manifold. Moreover we deal with semi-projectively flat perfect fluid and dust fluid spacetimes respectively. As a consequence we obtain some important theorems. Next we consider the decomposability of $(PSPS)_n$. Finally, we construct a non-trivial Lorentzian metric of $(PSPS)_4$.
