  • Main interest of the present paper is to investigate the criticality of characteristic vector fields on almost cosymplectic manifolds. Killing critical characteristic vector fields are absolute minima. This paper contains some examples of non-Killing critical characteristic vector fields.

  • 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.

  • In this paper, we give characteristic differential equations of a kind of projective vector fields on Finsler manifolds. Using these equations, we prove the vanishing theorem of projective vector fields on any compact Finsler manifold with the negative mean Ricci curvature, which is defined in [10]. This result involves the vanishing theorem of Killing vector fields in the Riemannian case and the work of [1, 14].

  • The P-curvature tensor has been studied in the space-time of general relativity and it is found that the contracted part of this tensor vanishes in the Einstein space. It is shown that Rainich conditions for the existence of non-null electro variance can be obtained by P𝛼𝛽. It is established that the divergence of tensor G𝛼𝛽 defined with the help of P𝛼𝛽 and scalar P is zero, so that it can be used to represent Einstein field equations. It is shown that for V4 satisfying Einstein like field equations, the tensor P𝛼𝛽 is conserved, if the energy momentum tensor is Codazzi type. The space-time satisfying Einstein's field equations with vanishing of P-curvature tensor have been considered and existence of Killing, conformal Killing vector fields and perfect fluid space-time has been established.

  • In the present paper, we study conformal and projective Killing vector fields and infinitesimal Q-transformations on a quaternionic Kahlerian manifold, and prove that an infinitesimal conformal or projective automorphism in a compact quaternionic Kahlerian manifold is necessarily infinitesimal automorphism.
