On Einstein-type almost Kenmotsu manifolds (Q6171621)

A Riemannian manifold \((M, g)\) is called {of Einstein-type} if there exist two smooth functions \(f, \sigma : M\rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) such that the following generalization of the Einstein condition holds: \(f\mathrm{Ric}=\mathrm{Hess}_f+\sigma g\). The authors study this equation for a certain class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds \(M^{2n+1}\). In the main result they prove that \((M, g)\) is locally isometric with some warped products according to the value of \(n\). No information about the function \(\sigma \) is provided.
