The aim of this paper is to characterize a Kenmotsu 3-manifold whose metric is either a Ricci-Yamabe soliton or gradient Ricci-Yamabe soliton. Finally, we verify the obtained results by an example.

We consider the total scalar curvature functional, and show that if the second variation in the transverse traceless tensor direction is negative, then the metric is Einstein. We also find the relation between the second variation and the Lichnerowicz Laplacian.

A vector field on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is called concircular if it satisfies ${\nabla}X^v={\mu}X$ for any vector X tangent to M, where ${\nabla}$ is the Levi-Civita connection and ${\mu}$ is a non-trivial function on M. A smooth vector field ${\xi}$ on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to define a Ricci soliton if it satisfies the following Ricci soliton equation: $$\frac{1}{2}L_{\xi}g+Ric={\lambda}g$$, where $L_{\xi}g$ is the Lie-derivative of the metric tensor g with respect to ${\xi}$, Ric is the Ricci tensor of (M, g) and ${\lambda}$ is a constant. A Ricci soliton (M, g, ${\xi}$, ${\lambda}$) on a Riemannian manifold (M, g) is said to have concircular potential field if its potential field is a concircular vector field. In the first part of this paper we determine Riemannian manifolds which admit a concircular vector field. In the second part we classify Ricci solitons with concircular potential field. In the last part we prove some important properties of Ricci solitons on submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold equipped with a concircular vector field.

Let x : $^{Mn-1}{\rightarrow}{\mathbb{R}}^n$ ($n{\geq}4$) be an umbilical free hyper-surface with non-zero principal curvatures. Then x is associated with a Laguerre metric g, a Laguerre tensor L, a Laguerre form C, and a Laguerre second fundamental form B, which are invariants of x under Laguerre transformation group. We denote the Laguerre scalar curvature by R and the trace-free Laguerre tensor by ${\tilde{L}}:=L-{\frac{1}{n-1}}tr(L)g$. In this paper, we prove a local classification result under the assumption of parallel Laguerre form and an inequality of the type $${\parallel}{\tilde{L}}{\parallel}{\leq}cR$$ where $c={\frac{1}{(n-3){\sqrt{(n-2)(n-1)}}}$ is appropriate real constant, depending on the dimension.

Let M be a real hypersurface of a complex space form with almost contact metric structure (${\phi}$, ${\xi}$, ${\eta}$, g). In this paper, we study real hypersurfaces in a complex space form whose structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}=R({\cdot},\;{\xi}){\xi}$ is ${\xi}$-parallel. In particular, we prove that the condition ${\nabla}_{\xi}R_{\xi}=0$ characterizes the homogeneous real hypersurfaces of type A in a complex projective space or a complex hyperbolic space when $R_{\xi}{\phi}S=R_{\xi}S{\phi}$ holds on M, where S denotes the Ricci tensor of type (1,1) on M.

Let M be a semi-invariant submanifold with almost contact metric structure (𝜙, 𝜉, 𝜂, g) of codimension 3 in a complex space form M_n+1(c), c≠ 0. We denote by S and R_𝜉 be the Ricci tensor of M and the structure Jacobi operator in the direction of the structure vector 𝜉, respectively. Suppose that the third fundamental form t satisfies dt(X, Y) = 2𝜃g(𝜙X, Y) for a certain scalar 𝜃(≠ 2c) and any vector fields X and Y on M. In this paper, we prove that M satisfies R_𝜉S = SR_𝜉 and at the same time R_𝜉𝜙 = 𝜙R_𝜉, then M is a Hopf hypersurface of type (A) provided that the scalar curvature s of M holds s - 2(n - 1)c ≤ 0.

A Kenmotsu manifold $M^n({\phi},\;{\xi},\;{\eta},\;g)$, (n = 2m + 1 > 3) is called a generalized ${\phi}-recurrent$ if its curvature tensor R satisfies $${\phi}^2(({\nabla}_wR)(X,Y)Z)=A(W)R(X,Y)Z+B(W)G(X,Y)Z$$ for all $X,\;Y,\;Z,\;W{\in}{\chi}(M)$, where ${\nabla}$ denotes the operator of covariant differentiation with respect to the metric g, i.e. ${\nabla}$ is the Riemannian connection, A, B are non-vanishing 1-forms and G is given by G(X, Y)Z = g(Y, Z)X - g(X, Z)Y. In particular, if A = 0 = B then the manifold is called a ${\phi}-symmetric$. Now, a Kenmotsu manifold $M^n({\phi},\;{\xi},\;{\eta},\;g)$, (n = 2m + 1 > 3) is said to be generalized ${\phi}-Ricci$ recurrent if it satisfies $${\phi}^2(({\nabla}_wQ)(Y))=A(X)QY+B(X)Y$$ for any vector field $X,\;Y{\in}{\chi}(M)$, where Q is the Ricci operator, i.e., g(QX, Y) = S(X, Y) for all X, Y. In this paper, we study generalized ${\phi}-recurrent$ and generalized ${\phi}-Ricci$ recurrent Kenmotsu manifolds with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection and obtain a necessary and sufficient condition of a generalized ${\phi}-recurrent$ Kenmotsu manifold with respect to quarter symmetric metric connection to be generalized Ricci recurrent Kenmotsu manifold with respect to quarter symmetric metric connection.

In this paper, we shall prove several results concerning Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) := (SU(2), g) with an arbitrary given left invariant metric g. First of all, we obtain the maximum (resp. minimum) of {r(X) := Ric(X,X) | ${||X||}_g$ = 1,X ${\in}$ X(M)}, where Ric is the Ricci tensor field on (M, g), and then get a necessary and sufficient condition for the Levi-Civita connection ${\nabla}$ on the manifold (M, g) to be projectively flat. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the Ricci curvature r(X) to be always positive (resp. negative), independently of the choice of unit vector field X.

In order to investigate the differential structure of a Riemannian manifold (M, g), it seems a powerful tool to study the differential structure of its tangent bundle TM. In this point of view, K. Aso [1] studied, using the Sasaki metric $\tilde{g}$, the relation between the curvature tensor on (M, g) and that on (TM, $\tilde{g}$).
