Characterization of a paraSasakian manifold admitting Bach tensor

Abstract

In the present article, our aim is to characterize Bach flat paraSasakian manifolds. It is established that a Bach flat paraSasakian manifold of dimension greater than three is of constant scalar curvature. Next, we prove that if the metric of a Bach flat paraSasakian manifold is a Yamabe soliton, then the soliton field becomes a Killing vector field. Finally, it is shown that a 3-dimensional Bach flat paraSasakian manifold is locally isometric to the hyperbolic space $H^{2n+1}(1)$.
