In this paper, we show that a recurrent manifold with harmonic curvature tensor is locally symmetric and that an Einstein and conformally recurrent manifold is locally symmetric. As a consequence, Einstein and recurrent manifolds must be locally symmetric. On the other hand, we have obtained some results for a (conformally) recurrent manifold with parallel vector field and also investigated some results for a (conformally) recurrent manifold with concircular vector field.

The main objective of the paper is to provide a full classification of quasi-conformally recurrent Riemannian manifolds with harmonic quasi-conformal curvature tensor. Among others it is shown that a quasi-conformally recurrent manifold with harmonic quasi-conformal curvature tensor is any one of the following: (i) quasi-conformally symmetric, (ii) conformally flat, (iii) manifold of constant curvature, (iv) vanishing scalar curvature, (v) Ricci recurrent.

We prove that totally umbilical submanifold M of an extended quasi-recurren manifold is also extended quasi-recurrent. If, moreover, M is conformally flat then, locally, M is isometric to the manifold with known metric. Some curvature properties of such submanifold are investigated. Making use of these results we shall prove the existence of totally umbilical submanifold being pseudosymmetric in the sense of Ryszard Deszcz and satisfying some other curvature conditions.

In this paper we study the properties of conformally recurrent pseudo Riemannian manifolds admitting a proper conformal vector field with respect to the scalar field ${\sigma}$, focusing particularly on the 4-dimensional Lorentzian case. Some general properties already proven by one of the present authors for pseudo conformally symmetric manifolds endowed with a conformal vector field are proven also in the case, and some new others are stated. Moreover interesting results are pointed out; for example, it is proven that the Ricci tensor under certain conditions is Weyl compatible: this notion was recently introduced and investigated by one of the present authors. Further we study conformally recurrent 4-dimensional Lorentzian manifolds (space-times) admitting a conformal vector field: it is proven that the covector ${\sigma}_j$ is null and unique up to scaling; moreover it is shown that the same vector is an eigenvector of the Ricci tensor. Finally, it is stated that such space-time is of Petrov type N with respect to ${\sigma}_j$.

The object of the present paper is to study the invariant submanifolds of (LCS)n-manifolds. We study generalized quasi-conformally semi-parallel and 2-semiparallel invariant submanifolds of (LCS)n-manifolds and showed their existence by a non-trivial example. Among other it is shown that an invariant submanifold of a (LCS)n-manifold is totally geodesic if the second fundamental form is any one of (i) symmetric, (ii) recurrent, (iii) pseudo symmetric, (iv) almost pseudo symmetric and (v) weakly pseudo symmetric.

The object of the present paper is to characterize generalized Ricci recurrent (GR₄) spacetimes. Among others things, it is proved that a conformally flat GR₄ spacetime is a perfect fluid spacetime. We also prove that a GR₄ spacetime with a Codazzi type Ricci tensor is a generalized Robertson Walker spacetime with Einstein fiber. We further show that in a GR₄ spacetime with constant scalar curvature the energy momentum tensor is semisymmetric. Further, we obtain several corollaries. Finally, we cite some examples which are sufficient to demonstrate that the GR₄ spacetime is non-empty and a GR₄ spacetime is not a trivial case.

A new type of Riemannian manifold called semirecurrent manifold has been defined and some of its geometric properties are studied. Among others we show that the scalar curvature of semirecurrent manifold is constant and hence semirecurrent manifold is also concircularly recurrent. In addition, we show that the associated 1-form (resp. the associated vector field) of semirecurrent manifold is closed (resp. an eigenvector of its Ricci tensor). Furthermore, we prove that if a Riemannian product manifold is semirecurrent, then either one decomposition manifold is locally symmetric or the other decomposition manifold is a space of constant curvature.

In this paper we study (${\epsilon}$)-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and show its existence by an example. Some basic results regarding such manifolds have been deduced. Finally, we study conformally flat and Weyl-semisymmetric (${\epsilon}$)-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds.

The object of the present paper is to study $(LCS)_n$-manifolds. Several interesting results on a $(LCS)_n$-manifold are obtained. Also the generalized Ricci recurrent $(LCS)_n$-manifolds are studied. The existence of such a manifold is ensured by several non-trivial new examples.
