In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n + 1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric, then its scalar curvature s satisfies -6 ⩽ s ⩽ 6 for n = 1 and -2n(2n + 1) ${\frac{4n^2-4n+3}{4n^2-4n-1}}$ ⩽ s ⩽ 2n(2n + 1) for n ⩾ 2. Secondly, for a (2n + 1)-dimensional weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 1, we prove that it is flat or is locally isomorphic to the Lie group SU(2), SL(2), or E(1, 1) for n = 1 and that for n ⩾ 2 there are no weakly Einstein metrics on contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds with 0 < κ < 1. For κ < 0, we get a classification of weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds. Finally, it is proved that a weakly Einstein almost cosymplectic (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 0 is locally isomorphic to a solvable non-nilpotent Lie group.

We study closed Einstein-Weyl structure on compact K-contact manifolds and prove that a compact K-contact manifold admitting a closed Einstein-Weyl structure is Einstein and Sasakian.

In this paper, we consider the existence of nonconstant warping functions on a warped product manifold M = B × _f² F, where B is a q(> 2)-dimensional base manifold with a nonconstant scalar curvature S_B(x) and F is a 3- dimensional fiber Einstein manifold and discuss that the resulting warped product manifold is an Einstein manifold, using the existence of the solution of some partial differential equation.

The manifold $^*g-ESX_n$ is a generalized n-dimensional Riemannian manifold on which the differential geometric structure is imposed by the unified field tensor $^*g^{{\lambda}{\nu}}$ through the ES-connection which is both Einstein and semi-symmetric. The purpose of the present paper is to prove a necessary and sufficient condition for a unique Einstein's connection to exist in 5-dimensional $^*g-ESX_5$ and to display a surveyable tnesorial representation of 5-dimensional Einstein's connection in terms of the unified field tensor, employing the powerful recurrence relations in the first class.

The aim of this paper is to characterize K-contact and Sasakian manifolds whose metrics are generalized quasi-Einstein metric. It is proven that if the metric of a K-contact manifold is generalized quasi-Einstein metric, then the manifold is of constant scalar curvature and in the case of a Sasakian manifold the metric becomes Einstein under certain restriction on the potential function. Several corollaries have been provided. Finally, we consider Sasakian 3-manifold whose metric is generalized quasi-Einstein metric.

In this paper, we study nonconstant warping functions on an Einstein warped product manifold $M=B{\times}_{f^2}F$ with a warped product metric $g=g_B+f(t)^2g_F$. And we consider a 2-dimensional base manifold B with a metric $g_B=dt^2+(f^{\prime}(t))^2du^2$. As a result, we prove the following: if M is an Einstein warped product manifold with a 2-dimensional base, then there exist generally nonconstant warping functions f(t).

The main purpose of the paper is to prove that if a compact Riemannian manifold admits a gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton such that the gradient Einstein potential is a non-trivial conformal vector field, then the manifold is isometric to the Euclidean sphere. We have showed that a Riemannian manifold satisfying gradient ${\rho}$-Einstein soliton with convex Einstein potential possesses non-negative scalar curvature. We have also deduced a sufficient condition for a Riemannian manifold to be compact which satisfies almost ${\eta}$-Ricci soliton.

In this paper, we show that a recurrent manifold with harmonic curvature tensor is locally symmetric and that an Einstein and conformally recurrent manifold is locally symmetric. As a consequence, Einstein and recurrent manifolds must be locally symmetric. On the other hand, we have obtained some results for a (conformally) recurrent manifold with parallel vector field and also investigated some results for a (conformally) recurrent manifold with concircular vector field.
