We obtain some characterizations of a pseudo Ricci-parallel real hypersurface in a quaternionic projective space $QP^{n}$ and find the condition that M is locally congruent to a geodesic hypersphere of $QP^{n}$ .

In the present paper we prove that in an almost Kenmotsu manifold with generalized $(k,{\mu})^{\prime}-nullity$ distribution the three conditions: (i) the Ricci tensor of $M^{2n+1}$ is of Codazzi type, (ii) the manifold $M^{2n+1}$ satisfies div C = 0, (iii) the manifold $M^{2n+1}$ is locally isometric to $H^{n+1}(-4){\times}R^n$, are equivalent. Also we prove that if the manifold satisfies the cyclic parallel Ricci tensor, then the manifold is locally isometric to $H^{n+1}(-4){\times}\mathbb{R}^n$.

The object of this paper is to classify paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-spaces satisfying certain curvature conditions. We show that a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space is Ricci semisymmetric if and only if the metric is Einstein, provided k < -1. Also we prove that a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space is ${\phi}$-Ricci symmetric if and only if the metric is Einstein, provided $k{\neq}0$, -1. Moreover, we show that in a paracontact metric ($k,{\mu}$)-space with k < -1, a second order symmetric parallel tensor is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor. Several consequences of these results are discussed.

It is known that there are no real hypersurfaces with parallel structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ (cf.[16], [17]). In this paper we investigate real hypersurfaces in a nonflat complex space form using some conditions of the structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ which are weaker than ${\nabla}R_{\xi}$ = 0. Under further condition $S\phi={\phi}S$ for the Ricci tensor S we characterize Hopf hypersurfaces in a complex space form.

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.

Let M be a real hypersurface with almost contact metric structure $({\phi},{\xi},{\eta},g)$ in a non flat complex space form $M_n(c)$. In this paper, we prove that if the structure Jacobi operator $R_{\xi}$ is ${\xi}$-parallel and the Ricci tensor S commutes with the structure operator $\phi$, then a real hypersurface in $M_n(c)$ is a Hopf hypersurface. Further, we characterize such Hopf hypersurface in $M_n(c)$.

In this paper, we deal with a critical point metric of the total scalar curvature on a compact manifold $M$. We prove that if the critical point metric has parallel Ricci tensor, then the manifold is isometric to a standard sphere. Moreover, we show that if an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold is a warped product, or has harmonic curvature with non-parallel Ricci tensor, then it cannot be a critical point metric.

In a Sasakian manifold, a C-Bochner curvature tensor is constructed from the Bochner curvature tensor in a Kaehlefian manifold by the fibering of Boothby-wang[2]. Many subjects for vanishing C-Bocher curvature tensor with constant scalar curvature were studied in [3], [6], [7], [9], [10], [11] and so on.

The purpose of this paper is to study a Kenmotsu manifold which is derived from the almost contact Riemannian manifold with some special conditions. In general, we have some relations about semi-symmetric, Ricci semi-symmetric or Weyl semisymmetric conditions in Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we partially classify the Kenmotsu manifold and consider the manifold admitting a transformation which keeps Riemannian curvature tensor and Ricci tensor invariant.

We shall give a characterization of a real hypersurface M in a complex space form Mn(c), $c\;{\neq}\;0$, whose Ricci operator and structure tensor commute each other on the holomorphic distribution of M, and the Ricci operator is ${\eta}-parallel$.
