On some curves in three-dimensional $$\beta $$-Kenmotsu manifolds

Harmonic Maps on Kenmotsu Manifolds

We study in this paper harmonic maps and harmonic morphisms on Kenmotsu manifolds. We also give some results on the spectral theory of a harmonic map for which the target manifold is a Kenmotsu manifold.

On 3-dimensional Almost Kenmotsu Manifolds Admitting Certain Nullity Distribution

The aim of this paper is to characterize 3-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifolds with ξ belonging to the (k, μ)′-nullity distribution and h′ 6= 0 satisfying certain geometric conditions. Finally, we give an example to verify some results.

On Lightlike Geometry in Indefinite Kenmotsu Manifolds

We investigate some geometric aspects of lightlike hypersurfaces of indefinite Kenmotsu manifolds, tangent to the structure vector field, by paying attention to the geometry of leaves of integrable distributions. Theorems on parallel vector fields, Killing distribution, geodesibility of those leaves are obtained. The geometrical configuration of such lightlike hypersurfaces and leaves of its sc...

Eta-Ricci solitons on para-Kenmotsu manifolds

In the context of paracontact geometry, η-Ricci solitons are considered on manifolds satisfying certain curvature conditions: R(ξ,X) · S = 0, S · R(ξ,X) = 0, W2(ξ,X) · S = 0 and S · W2(ξ,X) = 0. We prove that on a para-Kenmotsu manifold (M,φ, ξ, η, g), the existence of an η-Ricci soliton implies that (M, g) is quasi-Einstein and if the Ricci curvature satisfies R(ξ,X) · S = 0, then (M, g) is Ei...
