$\ast$-Ricci solitons and gradient almost $\ast$-Ricci solitons on Kenmotsu manifolds

Venkatesha Venkatesh, Devaraja Mallesha Naik, H Aruna Kumara

In this paper, we consider $\ast$-Ricci soliton in the frame-work of Kenmotsu manifolds. First, we prove that if the metric of a Kenmotsu manifold $M$ is a $\ast$-Ricci soliton, then sol…
