On the H-almost ricci soliton

Abstract

We introduce the concept {\it $h$-almost Ricci soliton} which extends naturally the {\it almost Ricci soliton} by Pigola-Rigoli-Rimoldi-Setti and show that a compact nontrivial $h$-almost Ricci soliton of dimension no less than three with $h$ having defined signal and constant scalar curvature is isometric to a standard sphere with the potential function well determined. We also consider the {\it $h$-Ricci soliton} which is a particular case of the $h$-almost Ricci soliton and a generalization of the {\it Ricci soliton} and give characterizations for a special class of gradient $h$-Ricci solitons.
