The notion of quasi-Einstein manifolds arose during the study of exact solutions of the Einstein field equations as well as during considerations of quasi-umbilical hypersurfaces. For instance, the Robertson-Walker spacetimes are quasi-Einstein manifolds. The object of the present paper is to study Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds. Some basic geometric properties of such a manifold are obtained. The applications of Lorentzian quasi-Einstein manifolds to the general relativity and cosmology are investigated. Theories of gravitational collapse and models of Supernova explosions [5] are based on a relativistic fluid model for the star. In the theories of galaxy formation, relativistic fluid models have been used in order to describe the evolution of perturbations of the baryon and radiation components of the cosmic medium [32]. Theories of the structure and stability of neutron stars assume that the medium can be treated as a relativistic perfectly conducting magneto fluid. Theories of relativistic stars (which would be models for supermassive stars) are also based on relativistic fluid models. The problem of accretion onto a neutron star or a black hole is usually set in the framework of relativistic fluid models. Among others it is shown that a quasi-Einstein spacetime represents perfect fluid spacetime model in cosmology and consequently such a spacetime determines the final phase in the evolution of the universe. Finally the existence of such manifolds is ensured by several examples constructed from various well known geometric structures.

The notion of quasi-Einstein metric in theoretical physics and in relation with string theory is equivalent to the notion of Ricci soliton in differential geometry. Quasi-Einstein metrics or Ricci solitons serve also as solution to Ricci flow equation, which is an evolution equation for Riemannian metrics on a Riemannian manifold. Quasi-Einstein metrics are subject of great interest in both mathematics and theoretical physics. In this paper the notion of Ricci 𝜌-soliton as a generalization of Ricci soliton is defined. We are motivated by the Ricci-Bourguignon flow to define this concept. We show that if a 3-dimensional almost Kenmotsu Einstein manifold M is a 𝜌-soliton, then M is a Kenmotsu manifold of constant sectional curvature -1 and the 𝜌-soliton is expanding with λ = 2.

We consider $N(k)$-quasi Einstein manifolds satisfying the conditions $C({\xi},\;X).S=0$, $\tilde{C}({\xi},\;X).S=0$, $\bar{P}({\xi},\;X).C=0$, $P({\xi},\;X).\tilde{C}=0$ and $\bar{P}({\xi},\;X).\tilde{C}=0$ where $C$, $\tilde{C}$, $P$ and $\bar{P}$ denote the conformal curvature tensor, the quasi-conformal curvature tensor, the projective curvature tensor and the pseudo projective curvature tensor, respectively.

We characterize a three-dimensional Riemannian manifold endowed with a type of semi-symmetric metric P-connection. At first, it is proven that if the metric of such a manifold is a gradient m-quasi-Einstein metric, then either the gradient of the potential function 𝜓 is collinear with the vector field P or, λ = -(m + 2) and the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1, provided P𝜓 ≠ m. Next, it is shown that if the metric of the manifold under consideration is a gradient 𝜌-Einstein soliton, then the gradient of the potential function is collinear with the vector field P. Also, we prove that if the metric of a 3-dimensional manifold with semi-symmetric metric P-connection is a gradient 𝜔-Ricci soliton, then the manifold is of constant sectional curvature -1 and λ + 𝜇 = -2. Finally, we consider an example to verify our results.

This paper deals with the study of N (k)-quasi Einstein manifolds that satisfies the certain curvature conditions 𝒞_*·𝒞_* = 0, 𝓢·𝒞_* = 0 and ${\mathcal{R}}{\cdot}{\mathcal{C}}_*=f{\tilde{Q}}(g,\;{\mathcal{C}}_*)$, where 𝒞_*, 𝓢 and 𝓡 denotes the quasi-conformal curvature tensor, Ricci tensor and the curvature tensor respectively. Finally, we construct an example of N (k)-quasi Einstein manifold.

The aim of the present paper is to study some solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds. We study gradient Yamabe solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds. It is proved that if the metric of a three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifold is gradient Einstein soliton then ${\mu}={\frac{2{\kappa}}{{\kappa}-2}}$. It is shown that if the metric of a three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifold is closed m-quasi Einstein metric then ${\kappa}={\frac{\lambda}{m+2}}$ and 𝜇 = 0. We also study conformal gradient Ricci solitons on three dimensional generalized (𝜅, 𝜇)-contact metric manifolds.

We study half lightlike submanifolds M of semi-Riemannian manifolds $\widetilde{M}$ of quasi-constant curvatures. The main result is a characterization theorem for screen homothetic Einstein half lightlike submanifolds of a Lorentzian manifold of quasi-constant curvature subject to the conditions; (1) the curvature vector field of $\widetilde{M}$ is tangent to M, and (2) the co-screen distribution is a conformal Killing one.

This paper examines the behavior of a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold equipped with a gradient generalized quasi-Yamabe soliton. In particular, It is shown that α-Sasakian, β-Kenmotsu and cosymplectic manifolds satisfy the gradient generalized quasi-Yamabe soliton equation. Furthermore, in the particular case when the potential vector field ζ of the quasi-Yamabe soliton is of gradient type ζ = grad(ψ), we derive a Poisson's equation from the quasi-Yamabe soliton equation. Also, we study harmonic aspects of quasi-Yamabe solitons on 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds sharing a harmonic potential function ψ. Finally, we observe that 3-dimensional compact trans-Sasakian manifold admits the gradient generalized almost quasi-Yamabe soliton with Hodge-de Rham potential ψ. This research ends with few examples of quasi-Yamabe solitons on 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds.
