Abstract
Abstract A Ricci almost soliton whose associated vector field is projective is shown to have vanishing Cotton tensor, divergence-free Bach tensor and Ricci tensor as conformal Killing. For the compact case, a sharp inequality is obtained in terms of scalar curvature.We show that every complete gradient Ricci soliton is isometric to the Riemannian product of a Euclidean space and an Einstein space. A complete K-contact Ricci almost soliton whose associated vector field is projective is compact Einstein and Sasakian.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Geometry is a mathematical journal for the publication of original research articles of excellent quality in the area of geometry. Geometry is a field of long standing-tradition and eminent importance. The study of space and spatial patterns is a major mathematical activity; geometric ideas and geometric language permeate all of mathematics.
