Ricci-like solitons on almost contact B-metric manifolds (Q2186807): Difference between revisions

In the paper under review an \textit{almost contact B-metric manifold} is a \((2n+1)\)-dimensional manifold endowed with an almost contact structure \((\varphi , \xi , \eta )\) and a semi-Riemannian compatible metric \(g\) of signature \((n+1, n)\). This gives a new semi-Riemannian metric \(\tilde{g}(\cdot , \cdot )=g(\cdot , \varphi \cdot )+\eta \otimes \eta (\cdot , \cdot )\) also of signature \((n+1, n)\). The initial pair \((g, \xi )\) is called \textit{Ricci-like soliton} if there exist three constants \(\lambda , \mu , \nu \) such that \(\frac{1}{2}\mathcal{L}_{\xi }g+\rho +\lambda g+\mu \tilde{g}+\nu \eta \otimes \eta =0\) with \(\rho \) the Ricci tensor field of \(g\). Hence, this work deals with four subjects: Sasaki-like B-metrics, Einstein-like B-metrics, torse-forming \(\xi \) and Ricci-like solitons. There are some interesting examples.
