The aim of this paper is to characterize K-contact and Sasakian manifolds whose metrics are generalized quasi-Einstein metric. It is proven that if the metric of a K-contact manifold is generalized quasi-Einstein metric, then the manifold is of constant scalar curvature and in the case of a Sasakian manifold the metric becomes Einstein under certain restriction on the potential function. Several corollaries have been provided. Finally, we consider Sasakian 3-manifold whose metric is generalized quasi-Einstein metric.

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 study $(LCS)_n$-manifolds. Several interesting results on a $(LCS)_n$-manifold are obtained. Also the generalized Ricci recurrent $(LCS)_n$-manifolds are studied. The existence of such a manifold is ensured by several non-trivial new examples.

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.

The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in theoretical physics and in relation with string theory is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in differential geometry. Quasi-Einstein metrics or Ricci solitons serve also as solution to Ricci flow equation, which is an evolution equation for Riemannian metrics on a Riemannian manifold. Quasi-Einstein metrics are subject of great interest in both mathematics and theoretical physics. In this paper the notion of Ricci 𝜌-soliton as a generalization of Ricci soliton is defined. We are motivated by the Ricci-Bourguignon flow to define this concept. We show that if a 3-dimensional almost Kenmotsu Einstein manifold M is a 𝜌-soliton, then M is a Kenmotsu manifold of constant sectional curvature -1 and the 𝜌-soliton is expanding with λ = 2.
