Some type of semisymmetry on two classes of almost Kenmotsu manifolds

Abstract

Abstract The object of the present paper is to study some types of semisymmetry conditions on two classes of almost Kenmotsu manifolds. It is shown that a (k, µ)-almost Kenmotsu manifold satisfying the curvature condition Q · R = 0 is locally isometric to the hyperbolic space ℍ2 n +1(−1). Also in (k, µ)-almost Kenmotsu manifolds the following conditions: (1) local symmetry (∇R = 0), (2) semisymmetry (R·R = 0), (3) Q(S, R) = 0, (4) R·R = Q(S, R), (5) locally isometric to the hyperbolic space ℍ2 n +1(−1) are equivalent. Further, it is proved that a (k, µ) ′ -almost Kenmotsu manifold satisfying Q · R = 0 is locally isometric to ℍ n +1(−4) × ℝ n and a (k, µ) ′- -almost Kenmotsu manifold satisfying any one of the curvature conditions Q(S, R) = 0 or R · R = Q(S, R) is either an Einstein manifold or locally isometric to ℍ n +1(−4) × ℝ n . Finally, an illustrative example is presented.
