The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions. Among others it is proved that a parallel symmetric (0, 2) tensor field in a 3-dimensional non-cosympletic normal almost contact metric manifold is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor and there does not exist a non-zero parallel 2-form. Also we obtain some equivalent conditions on a 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifold and we prove that if a 3-dimensional normal almost contact metric manifold which is not a ${\beta}$-Sasakian manifold satisfies cyclic parallel Ricci tensor, then the manifold is a manifold of constant curvature. Finally we prove the existence of such a manifold by a concrete example.

The aim of this paper is to characterize K-contact and Sasakian manifolds whose metrics are generalized quasi-Einstein metric. It is proven that if the metric of a K-contact manifold is generalized quasi-Einstein metric, then the manifold is of constant scalar curvature and in the case of a Sasakian manifold the metric becomes Einstein under certain restriction on the potential function. Several corollaries have been provided. Finally, we consider Sasakian 3-manifold whose metric is generalized quasi-Einstein metric.

As a natural generalization of the contact metric manifolds, Kim, Park and Sekigawa discussed quasi contact metric manifolds based on the geometry of the corresponding quasi $K{\ddot{a}}hler$ cones. In this paper, we show that a quasi contact metric manifold is a contact manifold.

The aim of this paper is to study the geometry of contact CR-warped product submanifolds in a cosymplectic manifold. We search several fundamental properties of contact CR-warped product submanifolds in a cosymplectic manifold. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for a submanifold in a cosymplectic manifold to be contact CR-(warped) product submanifold. After then we establish a general inequality between the warping function and the second fundamental for a contact CR-warped product submanifold in a cosymplectic manifold and consider contact CR-warped product submanifold in a cosymplectic manifold which satisfy the equality case of the inequality and some new results are obtained.

In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n + 1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric, then its scalar curvature s satisfies -6 ⩽ s ⩽ 6 for n = 1 and -2n(2n + 1) ${\frac{4n^2-4n+3}{4n^2-4n-1}}$ ⩽ s ⩽ 2n(2n + 1) for n ⩾ 2. Secondly, for a (2n + 1)-dimensional weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 1, we prove that it is flat or is locally isomorphic to the Lie group SU(2), SL(2), or E(1, 1) for n = 1 and that for n ⩾ 2 there are no weakly Einstein metrics on contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds with 0 < κ < 1. For κ < 0, we get a classification of weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds. Finally, it is proved that a weakly Einstein almost cosymplectic (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 0 is locally isomorphic to a solvable non-nilpotent Lie group.

It is well-known that the most interesting non-integrable almost Hermitian manifold are the nearly Kaehlerian manifolds ([2] and [3]), and that there exists a complex but not a Kaehlerian structure on Riemannian product manifolds of two normal contact manifolds [4]. The purpose of the present paper is to study nearly Kaehlerian product manifolds of two almost contact metric manifolds and investigate the geometrical structures of these manifolds. Unless otherwise stated, we shall always assume that manifolds and quantities are differentiable of class $C^{\infty}$. In Paragraph 1, we give brief discussions of almost contact metric manifolds and their Riemannian product manifolds. In paragraph 2, we investigate the perfect conditions for Riemannian product manifolds of two almost contact metric manifolds to be nearly Kaehlerian and the non-existence of a nearly Kaehlerian product manifold of contact metric manifolds. Paragraph 3 will be devoted to a proof of the following; A conformally flat compact nearly Kaehlerian product manifold of two almost contact metric manifolds is isomatric to a Riemannian product manifold of a complex projective space and a flat Kaehlerian manifold..

We show that the contact conformal curvature tensor on 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold always vanishes. We also prove that if the contact conformal curvature tensor vanishes on a 3-dimensional locally ${\varphi}$-symmetric contact metric manifold M, then M is a Sasakian space form.

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.

We find the expression of the curvature tensor field for a manifold with is endowed with an almost contact structure satisfying the condition (1.7). By using this condition we obtain some properties of the Ricci tensor and scalar curvature (d. Theorem 3.2 and Proposition 3.2).

In this paper we study $h$-projectively semisymmetric, ${\phi}$-pro-jectively semisymmetric, $h$-Weyl semisymmetric and ${\phi}$-Weyl semisym- metric non-Sasakian ($k$, ${\mu}$)-contact metric manifolds. In all the cases the manifold becomes an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold. As a consequence of these results we obtain that if a 3-dimensional non-Sasakian ($k$, ${\mu}$)-contact metric manifold satisfies such curvature conditions, then the manifold reduces to an N($k$)-contact metric manifold.
