In this paper, firstly we discuss some basic axioms of trans Sasakian manifolds. Later, the trans-Sasakian manifold with quarter symmetric non-metric connection are studied and its curvature tensor and Ricci tensor are calculated. Also, we study the η-Ricci solitons on a Trans-Sasakian Manifolds with quartersymmetric non-metric connection. Indeed, we investigated that the Ricci and η-Ricci solitons with quarter-symmetric non-metric connection satisfying the conditions ${\tilde{R}}.{\tilde{S}}$ = 0. In a particular case, when the potential vector field ξ of the η-Ricci soliton is of gradient type ξ = grad(ψ), we derive, from the η-Ricci soliton equation, a Laplacian equation satisfied by ψ. Finally, we furnish an example for trans-Sasakian manifolds with quarter-symmetric non-metric connection admitting the η-Ricci solitons.

In this paper, we prove that if a metric measure space satisfies the volume doubling condition and the Hardy type inequality with the same exponent n ($n{\geq}3$), then it has exactly the n-dimensional volume growth. Besides, three interesting applications of this fact have also been given. The first one is that we prove that complete noncompact smooth metric measure space with non-negative weighted Ricci curvature on which the Hardy type inequality holds with the best constant are isometric to the Euclidean space with the same dimension. The second one is that we show that if a complete n-dimensional Finsler manifold of nonnegative n-Ricci curvature satisfies the Hardy type inequality with the best constant, then its flag curvature is identically zero. The last one is an interesting rigidity result, that is, we prove that if a complete n-dimensional Berwald space of non-negative n-Ricci curvature satisfies the Hardy type inequality with the best constant, then it is isometric to the Minkowski space of dimension n.

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.

In this paper, we investigate horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces of Robertson-Walker spacetimes. Some results involving the unique existence of the screen distribution and the symmetry of the induced Ricci curvature tensor of horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces are presented. We also obtain some properties concerning the symmetry and the parallelism of the second fundamental forms of such lightlike hypersurfaces.

The authors compute the Ricci curvature of the GRW space-time to obtain two conditions for the conjugate points which appear as the Timelike Convergence Condition(TCG) and the Jacobi inequality. Moreover, under such two conditions, we obtain a lower bound of the length of a unit timelike geodesic for focal points emanating form the immersed spacelike hypersurface, the graph over the fiber in the GRW space-time.

In this paper, we study certain doubly-warped products which admit gradient Ricci solitons with harmonic Weyl curvature and non-constant soliton function. The metric is of the form $g=dx^2_1+p(x_1)^2dx^2_2+h(x_1)^2\;{\tilde{g}}$ on ${\mathbb{R}}^2{\times}N$, where $x_1$, $x_2$ are the local coordinates on ${\mathbb{R}}^2$ and ${\tilde{g}}$ is an Einstein metric on the manifold N. We obtained a full description of all the possible local gradient Ricci solitons.

The object of the present paper is to introduce a new curvature tensor, named generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor which bridges conformal curvature tensor, concircular curvature tensor, projective curvature tensor and conharmonic curvature tensor. Flatness and symmetric properties of generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor are studied in the frame of (k, ${\mu}$)-contact metric manifolds.

Let H be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group, ($G=H{\times}S^1$, g) a product Riemannian manifold of Riemannian manifolds H and S with arbitrarily given left invariant Riemannian metrics respectively, and ${\Gamma}$ the discrete subgroup of G with integer entries. Then, on the Riemannian manifold ($M:=G/{\Gamma}$, ${\Pi}^*g=\bar{g}$), ${\Pi}:G{\rightarrow}G/{\Gamma}$, we evaluate the scalar curvature and the Ricci curvature.

In this paper, we give characteristic differential equations of a kind of projective vector fields on Finsler manifolds. Using these equations, we prove the vanishing theorem of projective vector fields on any compact Finsler manifold with the negative mean Ricci curvature, which is defined in [10]. This result involves the vanishing theorem of Killing vector fields in the Riemannian case and the work of [1, 14].
