Conformal Killing--Yano Ricci solitons: Structure, compatibility, and rigidity

Mohammadjavad Habibivostakolaei, Abbas M. Sherif, Yen-Kheng Lim

We introduce a geometric structure -- a conformal Killing--Yano Ricci soliton (CKY--RS) -- that couples conformal Ricci soliton (CRS) geometry to conformal Killing--Yano (CKY) 2--f…
