Abstract

Recent interest among geometers in -structures of K. Yano is due to the study of topology and dynamics of contact foliations and generalized A. Weinstein conjectures. Weak metric -structures, introduced by the author and R. Wolak as a generalization of Hermitian structure, as well as -structure allow for a fresh perspective on the classical theory. An important case of such manifolds, which is locally a twisted product, is a weak -Kenmotsu manifold defined as a generalization of K. Kenmotsu's concept. In this paper, the concept of the -Ricci tensor of S. Tashibana is adapted to weak metric -manifolds, the interaction of --Ricci soliton with the weak -Kenmotsu structure is studied and new characteristics of -Einstein metrics are obtained.
