Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci solitons. We prove that if (1,V, ?) is a Ricci soliton where V is collinear with the characteristic vector field ?, then V is a constant multiple of ? and the manifold is of constant scalar curvature provided ?, ? =constant. Next we prove that in a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with constant scalar curvature if 1 is a gradient Ricci soliton, then the manifold is either a ?-Kenmotsu manifold or an Einstein manifold. As a consequence of this result we obtain several corollaries.
