A note on almost co-Kähler manifolds

Abstract

We characterize almost co-Kähler manifolds with gradient Yamabe, gradient Einstein and quasi-Yamabe solitons. It is proved that if the metric of a [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler manifold [Formula: see text] is a gradient Yamabe soliton, then [Formula: see text] is either [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler or [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler or the metric of [Formula: see text] is a trivial gradient Yamabe soliton. A [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler manifold with gradient Einstein soliton is [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler. Finally, it is shown that an almost co-Kähler manifold admitting a quasi-Yamabe soliton, whose soliton vector is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field of the manifold, is [Formula: see text]-almost co-Kähler. Consequently, some results of almost co-Kähler manifolds are deduced.
