The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, we study the Chinea-Gonzalez class C₁₂ of almost contact metric manifolds and we discuss some fundamental properties. We show there is a one-to-one correspondence between C₁₂ and Kählerian structures. Secondly, we give some basic results for Riemannian curvature tensor of C₁₂-manifolds and then establish equivalent relations among 𝜑-sectional curvature. Concrete examples are given.

The main intention of the current paper is to characterize certain properties of *-conformal Ricci solitons on non-coKähler (𝜅, 𝜇)-almost coKähler manifolds. At first, we find that there does not exist *-conformal Ricci soliton if the potential vector field is the Reeb vector field θ. We also prove that the non-coKähler (𝜅, 𝜇)-almost coKähler manifolds admit *-conformal Ricci solitons if the potential vector field is the infinitesimal contact transformation. It is also studied that there does not exist *-conformal gradient Ricci solitons on the said manifolds. An example has been constructed to verify the obtained results.

In this article, we show that a pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve in a normal almost contact metric 3-manifold equipped with the canonical affine connection ${\hat{\nabla}}^t$ is a slant helix with pseudo-Hermitian curvature ${\hat{\kappa}}={\mid}q{\mid}\;sin\;{\theta}$ and pseudo-Hermitian torsion ${\hat{\tau}}=q\;cos\;{\theta}$. Moreover, we prove that every pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve in normal almost contact metric 3-manifolds except quasi-Sasakian 3-manifolds is a slant helix as a Riemannian geometric sense. On the other hand we will show that a pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve γ in a quasi-Sasakian 3-manifold M is a slant curve with curvature κ = |(t - α) cos θ + q| sin θ and torsion τ = α + {(t - α) cos θ + q} cos θ. These curves are not helices, in general. Note that if the ambient space M is an α-Sasakian 3-manifold, then γ is a slant helix.

The object of the present paper is to study some curvature properties of almost Kenmotsu manifolds with conformal Reeb foliation. Among others it is proved that an almost Kenmotsu manifold with conformal Reeb foliation is Ricci semisymmetric if and only if it is an Einstein manifold. Finally, we study Yamabe soliton in this manifold.

In the present paper, we characterize, for a class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds, those that admit quasi Yamabe solitons. We show that if a (k, 𝜇)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold admits a quasi Yamabe soliton (g, V, 𝜆, 𝛼) where V is pointwise collinear with 𝜉, then (1) V is a constant multiple of 𝜉, (2) V is a strict infinitesimal contact transformation, and (3) (£_Vh')X = 0 holds for any vector field X. We present an illustrative example to support the result.

In the present paper is to classify Beta-almost (${\beta}$-almost) Ricci solitons and ${\beta}$-almost gradient Ricci solitons on almost $CoK{\ddot{a}}hler$ manifolds with ${\xi}$ belongs to ($k,{\mu}$)-nullity distribution. In this paper, we prove that such manifolds with V is contact vector field and $Q{\phi}={\phi}Q$ is ${\eta}$-Einstein and it is steady when the potential vector field is pointwise collinear to the reeb vectoer field. Moreover, we prove that a ($k,{\mu}$)-almost $CoK{\ddot{a}}hler$ manifolds admitting ${\beta}$-almost gradient Ricci solitons is isometric to a sphere.

The present paper mainly treats with almost f-cosymplectic manifolds. This notion contains almost cosymplectic and almost Kenmotsu manifolds. Almost cosymplectic manifolds introduced in ［1］ have been studied by many schalors, say ［2］, ［3］, ［4］, and almost Kenmotsu manifolds introduced in ［5］ have been studied in ［6］, ［7］. The present paper studies some geometrical and topological properties of the canonical foliation defined by the contact distribution of an almost f-cosymplectic manifold. The purpose of the present paper is to extend the results obtained in ［8］, ［9］.

An almost contact metric manifold is called a quasi contact metric manifold if the corresponding almost Hermitian cone is a quasi Kähler manifold, which was introduced by Y. Tashiro [9] as a contact O*-manifold. In this paper, we show that a quasi contact metric manifold with Killing characteristic vector field is a K-contact manifold. This provides an extension of the definition of K-contact manifold.
