Abstract

In the present paper, we prove that if there exists a second order parallel tensor on an almost Kenmotsu manifold with generalized $(k,\mu)'$-nullity distribution and $h' \neq 0$, then either the manifold is isometric to $H^{n+1}(-4)\times\mathbb{R}^{n}$, or, the second order parallel tensor is a constant multiple of the associated metric tensor of $M^{2n+1}$ under certain restriction on $k, \mu$. Besides this, we study Ricci soliton on an almost Kenmotsu manifold with generalized $(k,\mu)'$-nullity distribution. Finally, we characterize such a manifold admitting generalized Ricci soliton.

Keywords: almost Kenmotsu manifold, generalized nullity distribution, second order parallel tensor, Ricci soliton, generalized Ricci soliton
