Almost co-Kähler manifolds and [formula omitted]-quasi-Einstein solitons

Abstract

The present paper aims to investigate (m,ρ)-quasi-Einstein metrics on almost co-Kähler manifolds M. It is proven that if a (κ,μ)-almost co-Kähler manifold with κ<0 is (m,ρ)-quasi-Einstein manifold, then M represents a N(κ)-almost co-Kähler manifold and the manifold is locally isomorphic to a solvable non-nilpotent Lie group. Next, we study the three dimensional case and get the above mentioned result along with the manifold M3 becoming an η-Einstein manifold. We also show that there does not exist (m,ρ)-quasi-Einstein structure on a compact (κ,μ)-almost co-Kähler manifold of dimension greater than three with κ<0. Further, we prove that an almost co-Kähler manifold satisfying η-Einstein condition with constant coefficients reduces to a K-almost co-Kähler manifold, provided ma1≠(2n−1)b1 and m≠1. We also characterize perfect fluid spacetime whose Lorentzian metric is equipped with (m,ρ)-quasi Einstein solitons and acquired that the perfect fluid spacetime has vanishing vorticity, or it represents dark energy era under certain restriction on the potential function. Finally, we construct an example of an almost co-Kähler manifold with (m,ρ)-quasi-Einstein solitons.
