We find the expression of the curvature tensor field for a manifold with is endowed with an almost contact structure satisfying the condition (1.7). By using this condition we obtain some properties of the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature (d. Theorem 3.2 and Proposition 3.2).

The Bishop and Bishop-Gromov volume comparisons with the Bakry-Emery Ricci tensor in a metric measure space are studied by the comparisons of the Jacobi differential equations in a Riemannian and Lorentzian manifold.

S. Tachibana [10] has defined a confornal Killing tensor in a n-dimensional Riemannian manifold M by a skew symmetric tensor $u_[ji}$ satisfying the equation $$ \nabla_k u_{ji} + \nabla_j u_{ki} = 2\rho_i g_{kj} - \rho_j g_{ki} - \rho_k g_{ji}, $$ where $g_{ji}$ is the metric tensor of M, $\nabla$ denotes the covariant derivative with respect to $g_{ji}$ and $\rho_i$ is a associated covector field of $u_{ji}$. In here, a covector field means a 1-form.

Let M be an almost Kenmotsu manifold of dimension 2n + 1 having non-vanishing ��-sectional curvature such that trℓ > -2n - 2. We prove that any second order parallel tensor on M is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor and obtained some consequences of this. Vector fields keeping curvature tensor invariant are characterized on M.

The shape operator or second fundamental tensor of a real hypersurface in $M_n(c)$ will be denoted by A, and the induced almost contact metric structure of the real hypersurface by (${\phi}$, <, >,${\xi}$, ${\eta}$). The purpose of this paper is to prove that is no ruled real hypersurface M in a complex space form $M_n(c)$, $c{\neq}0$, $n{\geq}3$, who satisfies $R_{\xi}{\phi}={\phi}R_{\xi}$ on M.

The present study initially identify the generalized symmetric connections of type (α, β), which can be regarded as more generalized forms of quarter and semi-symmetric connections. The quarter and semi-symmetric connections are obtained respectively when (α, β) = (1, 0) and (α, β) = (0, 1). Taking that into account, a new generalized symmetric metric connection is attained on Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds. In compliance with this connection, some results are obtained through calculation of tensors belonging to Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold involving curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and Ricci semi-symmetric manifolds. Finally, we consider CR-submanifolds admitting a generalized symmetric metric connection and prove many interesting results.

We characterize real 4-dimensional Kahler metrices which are critical for natural quadratic Riemannian functionals defined on the space of all Riemannian metrics. In particular we show that such critical Kahler surfaces are either Einstein or have zero scalar curvature. We also make some discussion on criticality in the space of Kahler metrics.

We show that the contact conformal curvature tensor on 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold always vanishes. We also prove that if the contact conformal curvature tensor vanishes on a 3-dimensional locally ${\varphi}$-symmetric contact metric manifold M, then M is a Sasakian space form.

We define a semi-symmetric metric connection in an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold and we consider submanifolds of an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold endowed with a semi-symmetric metric connection and obtain Gauss and Codazzi equations, Weingarten equation and curvature tensor for submanifolds of an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold endowed with a semi-symmetric metric connection.

In this paper, we study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply warped products with an affine connection with a zero torsion.
