It is proved that for a non-Sasakian η-Einstein (κ, μ)-manifold M the following three conditions are equivalent: (a) M is flat and 3-dimensional, (b) M is Ricci-semisymmetric, and (c) M is ξ-Riccisemisymmetric. Then it is proved that an ξ-Ricci-semisymmetric (κ, μ)manifold M is either flat and 3-dimensional, or locally isometric to E × S(4), or an Einstein-Sasakian manifold. Mathematics Subject...

A compact quasi-regular Sasakian manifold M is foliated by onedimensional leaves and the transverse space of this characteristic foliation is necessarily a compact Kähler orbifold Z. In the case when the transverse space Z is also Einstein the corresponding Sasakian manifold M is said to be Sasakian η-Einstein. In this article we study η-Einstein geometry as a class of distinguished Riemannian ...

In this paper, we study 3-dimensional compact and connected trans-Sasakian manifolds find necessary sufficient conditions under which these are homothetic to Sasakian manifolds. First, four results in paper deal with finding on a manifold be manifold, the fifth result deals condition manifold. Finally, simply Einstein

In this article, the aim is to introduce a para-Sasakian manifold with a canonical paracontact connection. It is shown that φ−conharmonically flat , φ−W2 flat and φ−pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds with respect to canonical paracontact connection are all η−Einstein manifolds. Also, we prove that quasi-pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds are of constant scalar curvat...

We give a formula for the Betti numbers of 3-Sasakian manifolds or orbifolds which can be obtained as 3-Sasakian quotients of a sphere by a torus. This answers a question of Galicki and Salamon about the topology of 3-Sasakian manifolds. A (4m+3)-dimensional manifold is 3-Sasakian if it possesses a Riemannian metric with three orthonormal Killing elds deening a local SU(2)-action and satisfying...

Involving the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature, we obtain basic inequalities for different kind of submaniforlds of a Sasakian space form tangent to the structure vector field of the ambient manifold. Contrary to already known results, we find a different necessary and sufficient condition for the equality for Ricci curvature of C-totally real submanifolds of a Sasakian space form...

The Newman-Penrose-Perjes formalism is applied to Sasakian 3-manifolds and the local form of the metric and contact structure is presented. The local moduli space can be parameterised by a single function of two variables and it is shown that, given any smooth function of two variables, there exists locally a Sasakian structure with scalar curvature equal to this function. The case where the sc...

In this paper, we study indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold M̄ of quasi-constant curvature with lightlike hypersurfaces M . We provide several new results on such a manifold M̄ , in which the characteristic 1form θ and the characteristic vector field ζ, defined by (1.1), are identical with the structure 1-form θ and the structure vector field ζ of the indefinite trans-Sasakian structure (J, ζ, θ) ...

A review of the geometry of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds shows that generalized Sasakian manifolds and η-Einstein manifolds are deeply interrelated. For example, it is known that a 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold is η-Einstein. In this paper, we discuss the relationships between several special classes of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds which are generalizations of 3-dimensiona...

This review article has grown out of notes for the three lectures the second author presented during the XXIV-th Winter School of Geometry and Physics in Srni, Czech Republic, in January of 2004. Our purpose is twofold. We want give a brief introduction to some of the techniques we have developed over the last 5 years while, at the same time, we summarize all the known results. We do not give a...
