It is well-known that the most interesting non-integrable almost Hermitian manifold are the nearly Kaehlerian manifolds ([2] and [3]), and that there exists a complex but not a Kaehlerian structure on Riemannian product manifolds of two normal contact manifolds [4]. The purpose of the present paper is to study nearly Kaehlerian product manifolds of two almost contact metric manifolds and investigate the geometrical structures of these manifolds. Unless otherwise stated, we shall always assume that manifolds and quantities are differentiable of class $C^{\infty}$. In Paragraph 1, we give brief discussions of almost contact metric manifolds and their Riemannian product manifolds. In paragraph 2, we investigate the perfect conditions for Riemannian product manifolds of two almost contact metric manifolds to be nearly Kaehlerian and the non-existence of a nearly Kaehlerian product manifold of contact metric manifolds. Paragraph 3 will be devoted to a proof of the following; A conformally flat compact nearly Kaehlerian product manifold of two almost contact metric manifolds is isomatric to a Riemannian product manifold of a complex projective space and a flat Kaehlerian manifold..

We study curvature properties of four-dimensional almost Hermitian manifolds with vanishing Bochner curvature tensor as defined by Tricerri and Vanhecke. We give some structure theorems for such manifolds.

The object of the present paper is to characterize Bach flat (k, 𝜇)-almost co-Kähler manifolds. It is proved that a Bach flat (k, 𝜇)-almost co-Kähler manifold is K-almost co-Kähler manifold under certain restriction on 𝜇 and k. We also characterize (k, 𝜇)-almost co-Kähler manifolds with divergence free Cotton tensor.

The purpose of this note is to introduce a type of Riemannian manifold called an almost quasi Ricci symmetric manifold and investigate the several properties of such a manifold on which some geometric conditions are imposed. And the existence of such a manifold is ensured by a proper example.

The goal of this paper is to characterize a class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting *-conformal Ricci solitons. It is shown that if a (2n + 1)-dimensional (k, µ)'-almost Kenmotsu manifold M admits *-conformal Ricci soliton, then the manifold M is *-Ricci flat and locally isometric to ℍⁿ⁺¹(-4) × ℝⁿ. The result is also verified by an example.

The aim of present paper is to investigate 3-dimensional ${\xi}$-projectively flt and $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt normal almost paracontact metric manifolds. As a first step, we proved that if the 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is ${\xi}$-projectively flt then ${\Delta}{\beta}=0$. If additionally ${\beta}$ is constant then the manifold is ${\beta}$-para-Sasakian. Later, we proved that a 3-dimensional normal almost paracontact metric manifold is $\tilde{\varphi}$-projectively flt if and only if it is an Einstein manifold for ${\alpha},{\beta}=const$. Finally, we constructed an example to illustrate the results obtained in previous sections.

In this article we study almost contact manifolds admitting weakly Einstein metrics. We first prove that if a (2n + 1)-dimensional Sasakian manifold admits a weakly Einstein metric, then its scalar curvature s satisfies -6 ⩽ s ⩽ 6 for n = 1 and -2n(2n + 1) ${\frac{4n^2-4n+3}{4n^2-4n-1}}$ ⩽ s ⩽ 2n(2n + 1) for n ⩾ 2. Secondly, for a (2n + 1)-dimensional weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 1, we prove that it is flat or is locally isomorphic to the Lie group SU(2), SL(2), or E(1, 1) for n = 1 and that for n ⩾ 2 there are no weakly Einstein metrics on contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds with 0 < κ < 1. For κ < 0, we get a classification of weakly Einstein contact metric (κ, μ)-manifolds. Finally, it is proved that a weakly Einstein almost cosymplectic (κ, μ)-manifold with κ < 0 is locally isomorphic to a solvable non-nilpotent Lie group.

Let G be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group. A discrete subgroup of Isom(G), acting freely on G with non-compact quotient, must be isomorphic to either 1, Z, Z2 or the fundamental group of the Klein bottle. We classify all discrete representations of such groups into Isom(G) up to affine conjugacy. This yields an affine calssification of 3-dimensional non-compact infra-nilmanifolds.
