In this paper, we prove that the Ricci tensor of a three-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifold satisfying ${\nabla}_{\xi}h=0$, $h{\neq}0$, is ${\eta}$-parallel if and only if the manifold is locally isometric to either the Riemannian product $\mathbb{H}^2(-4){\times}\mathbb{R}$ or a non-unimodular Lie group equipped with a left invariant non-Kenmotsu almost Kenmotsu structure.

The present paper deals with the study of Fischer-Marsden conjecture on a Kenmotsu manifold. It is proved that if a Kenmotsu metric satisfies 𝔏^*_g(λ) = 0 on a (2n + 1)-dimensional Kenmotsu manifold M²ⁿ⁺¹, then either ξλ = -λ or M²ⁿ⁺¹ is Einstein. If n = 1, M³ is locally isometric to the hyperbolic space H³ (-1).

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.

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.

The present paper deals with a study of infinitesimal CL-transformations on Kenmotsu manifolds, whose metric is Yamabe soliton and obtained sufficient conditions for such solitons to be expanding, steady and shrinking. Among others, we find a necessary and sufficient condition of a Yamabe soliton on Kenmotsu manifold with respect to CL-connection to be Yamabe soliton on Kenmotsu manifold with respect to Levi-Civita connection. We found the necessary and sufficient condition for the Yamabe soliton structure to be invariant under Schouten-Van Kampen connection. Finally, we constructed an example of steady Yamabe soliton on 3-dimensional Kenmotsu manifolds with respect to Schouten-Van Kampen connection.

The object of the present paper is to characterize 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds of type (α, β) admitting ∗-Ricci solitons and ∗-gradient Ricci solitons. Under certain restrictions on the smooth functions α and β, we have proved that a trans-Sasakian 3-manifold of type (α, β) admitting a ∗-Ricci soliton reduces to a β-Kenmotsu manifold and admitting a ∗-gradient Ricci soliton is either flat or ∗-Einstein or it becomes a β-Kenmotsu manifold. Also an illustrative example is presented to verify our results.

We find the characterizations of the curvatures of Legendre curves and magnetic curves in Kenmotsu manifolds with C-parallel and C-proper mean curvature vector fields in the tangent and normal bundles. Finally, an illustrative example is presented.
