Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study semi-symmetric metric connection on a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold. We found the necessary condition under which a vector field on a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold will be a strict contact vector field. Then, we obtained extended generalized phi-recurrent 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection. Next, a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold satises the condition ~L.~ S = 0 with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection is studied.

Highlights

  • The semi symmetric metric connection gives an important concept in the geometry of Riemannian manifold having physical applications i.e the displacement on the earth surface facing a fixed point is metric and semi-symmetric [13]

  • We have considered that M 3 is 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold

  • An extended generalized φ-recurrent trans-Sasakian manifold (M 3, g) with respect to semi symmetric metric connection is an η− Einstein manifold and more over, the 1-forms A and B are related as A(W )[α2 − β2 − β] + B(W ) = 0

Summary

Hence we have

A three-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold is said to be an extended generalized φ−recurrent trans-Sasakian manifold if its curvature tensor R satisfies the relation φ2((∇W R)(X, Y )Z) = A(W )φ2(R(X, Y )Z) + B(W )φ2([g(Y, Z)X − g(X, Z)Y ]), for all X, Y, Z, W ∈ χ(M ), where A and B are two non-vanishing 1-forms such that g(W, ρ1) = A(W ) and g(W, ρ2) = B(W ), ∀W ∈ χ(M ), with ρ1 and ρ2 being the vector fields associated to the 1-form A and B, respectively [16]. Contracting (4.5) with gik, we get Rjk,k = a,j + b,kξkηj + bηi,kgikηj + bηiηj,kgik. An extended generalized φ-recurrent trans-Sasakian manifold (M 3, g) with respect to semi symmetric metric connection is an η− Einstein manifold and more over, the 1-forms A and B are related as A(W )[α2 − β2 − β] + B(W ) = 0.

From above we get
It is easily seen that
