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 $(PSPS)_4$.

In this paper we introduce new notions of Ricci-like tensor and many kind of curvature-like tensors such that concircular, projective, or conformal curvature-like tensors defined on semi-Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we give some geometric conditions which are equivalent to the Codazzi tensor, the Weyl tensor, or the second Bianchi identity concerned with such kind of curvature-like tensors respectively and also give a generalization of Weyl's Theorem given in [18] and [19].

The object of the present paper is to introduce a new curvature tensor, named generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor which bridges conformal curvature tensor, concircular curvature tensor, projective curvature tensor and conharmonic curvature tensor. Flatness and symmetric properties of generalized quasi-conformal curvature tensor are studied in the frame of (k, ${\mu}$)-contact metric manifolds.

The aim of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection. Firstly, we prove that extended generalized M-projective 𝜙-recurrent 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection is an 𝜂-Einstein manifold with respect to Levi-Civita connection under some certain conditions. Later we study some curvature properties of 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold admitting the above connection.
