 Ricci solitons and Ricci almost solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifold Bull. Korean Math. Soc. 2019 Vol. 56, No. 5, 1315-1325 https://doi.org/10.4134/BKMS.b181175Published online September 30, 2019 Dhriti Sundar Patra Birla Institute of Technology Mesra Abstract : The purpose of this article is to study the Ricci solitons and Ricci almost solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifold. First, we prove that if a para-Kenmotsu metric represents a Ricci soliton with the soliton vector field $V$ is contact, then it is Einstein and the soliton is shrinking. Next, we prove that if a $\eta$-Einstein para-Kenmotsu metric represents a Ricci soliton, then it is Einstein with constant scalar curvature and the soliton is shrinking. Further, we prove that if a para-Kenmotsu metric represents a gradient Ricci almost soliton, then it is $\eta$-Einstein. This result is also hold for Ricci almost soliton if the potential vector field $V$ is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field $\xi$.
