The purpose of this article is to study the Ricci solitons and Ricci almost solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifold. First, we prove that if a para-Kenmotsu metric represents a Ricci soliton with the soliton vector field V is contact, then it is Einstein and the soliton is shrinking. Next, we prove that if a ${\eta}$-Einstein para-Kenmotsu metric represents a Ricci soliton, then it is Einstein with constant scalar curvature and the soliton is shrinking. Further, we prove that if a para-Kenmotsu metric represents a gradient Ricci almost soliton, then it is ${\eta}$-Einstein. This result is also hold for Ricci almost soliton if the potential vector field V is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field ${\xi}$.

The purpose of the paper is to study of Para-Kenmotsu metric as a 𝜂-Ricci soliton. The paper is organized as follows: • If an 𝜂-Einstein para-Kenmotsu metric represents an 𝜂-Ricci soliton with flow vector field V, then it is Einstein with constant scalar curvature r = -2n(2n + 1). • If a para-Kenmotsu metric g represents an 𝜂-Ricci soliton with the flow vector field V being an infinitesimal paracontact transformation, then V is strict and the manifold is an Einstein manifold with constant scalar curvature r = -2n(2n + 1). • If a para-Kenmotsu metric g represents an 𝜂-Ricci soliton with non-zero flow vector field V being collinear with 𝜉, then the manifold is an Einstein manifold with constant scalar curvature r = -2n(2n + 1). Finally, we cited few examples to illustrate the results obtained.

We characterize a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold endowed with a type of semi-symmetric metric P-connection. At first, it is proven that if the metric of such a manifold is a gradient m-quasi-Einstein metric, then either the gradient of the potential function 𝜓 is collinear with the vector field P or, λ = -(m + 2) and the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1, provided P𝜓 ≠ m. Next, it is shown that if the metric of the manifold under consideration is a gradient 𝜌-Einstein soliton, then the gradient of the potential function is collinear with the vector field P. Also, we prove that if the metric of a 3-dimensional manifold with semi-symmetric metric P-connection is a gradient 𝜔-Ricci soliton, then the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1 and λ + 𝜇 = -2. Finally, we consider an example to verify our results.

The object of the present paper is to study ${\eta}$-recurrent ${\ast}$-Ricci tensor, ${\ast}$-Ricci semisymmetric and globally ${\varphi}-{\ast}$-Ricci symmetric contact metric generalized (${\kappa}$, ${\mu}$)-space form. Besides these, ${\ast}$-Ricci soliton and gradient ${\ast}$-Ricci soliton in contact metric generalized (${\kappa}$, ${\mu}$)-space form have been studied.

In this paper, we studied several geometrical aspects of a perfect fluid spacetime admitting a Ricci ρ-soliton and an η-Ricci ρ-soliton. Beside this, we consider the velocity vector of the perfect fluid space time as a gradient vector and obtain some Poisson equations satisfied by the potential function of the gradient solitons.

The main purpose of the paper is to prove that if a compact Riemannian manifold admits a gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton such that the gradient Einstein potential is a non-trivial conformal vector field, then the manifold is isometric to the Euclidean sphere. We have showed that a Riemannian manifold satisfying gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton with convex Einstein potential possesses non-negative scalar curvature. We have also deduced a sufficient condition for a Riemannian manifold to be compact which satisfies almost ${\eta}$-Ricci soliton.

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.

Let ($M^{2n+1}$, ${\phi}$, ${\xi}$, ${\eta}$, g) be a (k, ${\mu}$)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold with k < -1 which admits a gradient Ricci almost soliton (g, f, ${\lambda}$), where ${\lambda}$ is the soliton function and f is the potential function. In this paper, it is proved that ${\lambda}$ is a constant and this implies that $M^{2n+1}$ is locally isometric to a rigid gradient Ricci soliton ${\mathbb{H}}^{n+1}(-4){\times}{\mathbb{R}}^n$, and the soliton is expanding with ${\lambda}=-4n$. Moreover, if a three dimensional Kenmotsu manifold admits a gradient Ricci almost soliton, then either it is of constant sectional curvature -1 or the potential vector field is pointwise colinear with the Reeb vector field.
