The objective of this paper is to introduce and study Einstein-like para-Kenmotsu manifolds. For a para-Kenmotsu manifold to be Einstein-like, a necessary and sufficient condition in terms of its curvature tensor is obtained. We also obtain the scalar curvature of an Einstein-like para-Kenmotsu manifold. A necessary and sufficient condition for an almost para-contact metric hypersurface of a locally product Riemannian manifold to be para-Kenmotsu is derived and it is shown that the para-Kenmotsu hypersurface of a locally product Riemannian manifold of almost constant curvature is always Einstein.

Thurston, in 1986, discovered that the Schwarzian derivative has mysterious properties similar to the curvature on a manifold. After his work, there are several approaches to develop this notion on Riemannian manifolds. Here, a tensor field is identified in the study of global conformal diffeomorphisms on Finsler manifolds as a natural generalization of the Schwarzian derivative. Then, a natural definition of a Mobius mapping on Finsler manifolds is given and its properties are studied. In particular, it is shown that Mobius mappings are mappings that preserve circles and vice versa. Therefore, if a forward geodesically complete Finsler manifold admits a Mobius mapping, then the indicatrix is conformally diffeomorphic to the Euclidean sphere S^n-1 in ℝⁿ. In addition, if a forward geodesically complete absolutely homogeneous Finsler manifold of scalar flag curvature admits a non-trivial change of Mobius mapping, then it is a Riemannian manifold of constant sectional curvature.

Any open Riemann surface has a conformal model in any orientable Riemannian manifold of dimension 4. Precisely, we will prove that, given any open Riemann surface, there is a conformally equivalent model in a prespecified orientable 4-dimensional Riemannian manifold. This result along with [5] now shows that an open Riemann surface admits conformal models in any Riemannian manifold of dimension ${\geq}3$.

We proved that if a fibred Riemannian space $\tilde{M}$ with cosymplectic structure is conformally flat, then $\tilde{M}$ is the locally product manifold of locally Euclidean spaces, that is locally Euclidean. Moreover, we investigated the fibred Riemannian space with cosymplectic structure when the Riemannian metric $\tilde{g}$ on $\tilde{M}$ is Einstein.

In this paper, we give a sharp estimate on the cardinality of the set generating the convex hull containing the image of harmonic maps with polynomial growth rate on a certain class of manifolds into a Cartan-Hadamard manifold with sectional curvature bounded by two negative constants. We also describe the asymptotic behavior of harmonic maps on a complete Riemannian manifold into a regular ball in terms of massive subsets, in the case when the space of bounded harmonic functions on the manifold is finite dimensional.

Let (M,F) and (M',F') be two foliated Riemannian manifolds with M compact. If the transversal Ricci curvature of F is nonnegative and the transversal sectional curvature of F' is nonpositive, then any transversally harmonic map ${\phi}:(M,F){\rightarrow}(M^{\prime},F^{\prime})$ is transversally totally geodesic. In addition, if the transversal Ricci curvature is positive at some point, then ${\phi}$ is transversally constant.

We investigate the geometric properties reflected by the spectra of the Jacobi operator of a harmonic map when the target manifold is a Riemannian product manifold or a Kaehlerian product manifold. And also we study the spectral characterization of Riemannian sumersions when the target manifold is $S^n \times S^n$ or $CP^n \times CP^n$.

We introduce semi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds as a generalization of slant submersions, semi-invariant submersions, anti-invariant submersions, etc. We obtain characterizations, investigate the integrability of distributions and the geometry of foliations, etc. We also find a condition for such submersions to be harmonic. Moreover, we give lots of examples.

Several classes of functions, named as semi E-preinvex functions and semilocal E-preinvex functions and their properties are studied by various authors. In this paper we introduce the geodesic concept over two types of problems first is semi E-preinvex functions and another is semilocal E-preinvex functions on Riemannian manifolds and study some of their properties.

In this note, we extend the definition of harmonic and biharmonic maps via the variation of energy and bienergy between two Riemannian manifolds. In particular we present some new properties for the generalized stress energy tensor and the divergence of the generalized stress bienergy.
