Certain results on Ricci solitons in \(\alpha\)-Sasakian manifolds (Q2260764)

Summary: We study Ricci solitons in \(\alpha\)-Sasakian manifolds and show that it is a shrinking or expanding soliton and the manifold is Einstein with Killing vector field. Further, we prove that if \(V\) is conformal Killing vector field, then the Ricci soliton in 3-dimensional \(\alpha\)-Sasakian manifolds is shrinking or expanding but cannot be steady.
