The aim of present paper is to investigate 3-dimensional ${\xi}$-projectively flt and $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt normal almost paracontact metric manifolds. As a first step, we proved that if the 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is ${\xi}$-projectively flt then ${\Delta}{\beta}=0$. If additionally ${\beta}$ is constant then the manifold is ${\beta}$-para-Sasakian. Later, we proved that a 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt if and only if it is an Einstein manifold for ${\alpha},{\beta}=const$. Finally, we constructed an example to illustrate the results obtained in previous sections.

In this paper, we show that the Euler characteristic of an even dimensional closed projectively flat manifold is equal to the total measure which is induced from a probability Borel measure on RP$^{n}$ invariant under the holonomy action, and then discuss its consequences and applications. As an application, we show that the Chen's conjecture is true for a closed affinely flat manifold whose holonomy group action permits an invariant probability Borel measure on RP$^{n}$ ; that is, such a closed affinly flat manifold has a vanishing Euler characteristic.

The aim of the present paper is to study the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold endowed with semi-symmetric metric connections admitting ${\eta}$-Ricci Solitons and Ricci Solitons. We find expressions for the curvature tensor, the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature tensor of ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection. Also, we discuses some results on quasi-projectively flat and ${\phi}$-projectively flat manifolds endowed with a semi-symmetric-metric connection. It is shown that the manifold satisfying ${\bar{R}}.{\bar{S}}=0$, ${\bar{P}}.{\bar{S}}=0$ is an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold. Moreover, we obtain the conditions for the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection to be conformally flat and ${\xi}$-conformally flat.

We investigate the projectively flat warped product manifolds and study the geometric structure of the base space and its fibre. Specifically we find the conditions that the scalar curvature of the base space (B,g) vanishes if and only if f is harmonic on (B,g) and the fibre (F,$\bar{g}$) is a space of constant curvature.

We study some properties of a semi-Riemannian submanifold of a semi-Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Then, we prove that the Ricci tensor of a semi-Riemannian submanifold of a semi-Riemannian space form admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection is symmetric but is not parallel. Last, we give the conditions under which a totally umbilical semi-Riemannian submanifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection is projectively flat.

In this study we consider ${\varphi}$-conformally flat, ${\varphi}$-conharmonically flat, ${\varphi}$-projectively at and ${\varphi}$-concircularly flat Lorentzian ${\alpha}$-Sasakian manifolds. In all cases, we get the manifold will be an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold.

In this paper, we shall prove several results concerning Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) := (SU(2), g) with an arbitrary given left invariant metric g. First of all, we obtain the maximum (resp. minimum) of {r(X) := Ric(X,X) | ${||X||}_g$ = 1,X ${\in}$ X(M)}, where Ric is the Ricci tensor field on (M, g), and then get a necessary and sufficient condition for the Levi-Civita connection ${\nabla}$ on the manifold (M, g) to be projectively flat. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the Ricci curvature r(X) to be always positive (resp. negative), independently of the choice of unit vector field X.

In this paper we introduce a new tensor named semi-projective curvature tensor which generalizes the projective curvature tensor. First we deduce some basic geometric properties of semi-projective curvature tensor. Then we study pseudo semi-projective symmetric manifolds $(PSPS)_n$ which recover some known results of Chaki [5]. We provide several interesting results. Among others we prove that in a $(PSPS)_n$ if the associated vector field ${\rho}$ is a unit parallel vector field, then either the manifold reduces to a pseudosymmetric manifold or pseudo projective symmetric manifold. Moreover we deal with semi-projectively flat perfect fluid and dust fluid spacetimes respectively. As a consequence we obtain some important theorems. Next we consider the decomposability of $(PSPS)_n$. Finally, we construct a non-trivial Lorentzian metric of $(PSPS)_4$.
