The object of the present paper is to study (LCS)π -manifolds with vanishing quasi-conformal curvature tensor. (LCS)π -manifolds satisfying Ricci-symmetric condition are also characterized. 1. Introduction Recently, in [1], Shaikh introduced and studied Lorentzian concircular structure manifolds (briefly (LCS)-manifold) which generalizes the notion of LP-Sasakian manifolds, introduced by Matsumoto [2]. Generalizing the notion of LP-Sasakian manifold in 2003 [1], Shaikh introduced the notion of (LCS)π -manifolds along with their existence and applications to the general theory of relativity and cosmology. Also, Shaikh and his coauthors studied various types of (LCS)π -manifolds by imposing the curvature restrictions (see [3–6]). In [7, 8], the authors also studied (LCS)2π+1 -manifolds. The submanifold of an (LCS)π -manifold is studied by Atceken and Hui [9, 10] and Shukla et al. [11]. In [12], Yano and Sawaki introduced the quasi-conformal curvature tensor, and later it was studied by many authors with curvature restrictions on various structures [13]. After then, the same author studied weakly symmetric (LCS)π -manifolds by several examples and obtain various results in such manifolds. In [7], authors shown that a pseudo projectively flat and pseudo projectively recurrent (LCS)π manifolds are π-Einstein manifold. On the other hand, in [5], authors proved the existence of π-recurrent (LCS)3 manifold which is neither locally symmetric nor locally π-symmetric by nontrivial examples. Furthermore, they also give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a (LCS)π -manifold to be locally π-recurrent. In this study, we have investigated the quasi-conformal flat (LCS)π -manifolds satisfying properties such as Riccisymmetric, locally symmetric, and π-Einstein. Finally, we give an example for π-Einstein manifolds. 2. Preliminaries An π-dimensional Lorentzian manifold π is a smooth connected paracompact Hausdorff manifold with a Lorentzian metric tensor π, that is, π admits a smooth symmetric tensor field π of the type (2, 0) such that, for each π ∈ π, ππ : ππ (π) × ππ (π) σ³¨→ R (1) is a nondegenerate inner product of signature (−, +, +, . . . , +). In such a manifold, a nonzero vector ππ ∈ ππ(π) is said to be timelike (resp., nonspacelike, null, and spacelike) if it satisfies the condition ππ (ππ , ππ ) < 0 (resp., ≤0, =0, >0). These cases are called casual character of the vectors. Definition 1. In a Lorentzian manifold (π, π), a vector field π defined by π (π, π) = π΄ (π) (2) for any π ∈ Γ(ππ) is said to be a concircular vector field if (∇π π΄) π = πΌ {π (π, π) + π€ (π) π΄ (π)} (3) for π ∈ Γ(ππ), where πΌ is a nonzero scalar function, π΄ is a 1-form, π€ is also closed 1-form, and ∇ denotes the Levi-Civita connection on π [7]. 2 Abstract and Applied Analysis Let π be a Lorentzian manifold admitting a unit timelike concircular vector field π, called the characteristic vector field of the manifold. Then we have π (π, π) = −1. (4) Since π is a unit concircular unit vector field, there exists a nonzero 1-form π such that π (π, π) = π (π) . (5) Μ (π, π) π = π (π, π) π πΆ The equation of the following form holds: (∇π π) π = πΌ {π (π, π) + π (π) π (π)} , for all vector fields π, π, π on π, where π and π denote the Riemannian curvature tensor and Ricci curvature, respectively, π is also the Ricci operator given by π(π, π) = π(ππ, π). Now let (π, π) be an π-dimensional Riemannian manΜ the Weyl ifold; then the concircular curvature tensor πΆ, conformal curvature tensor πΆ, and the pseudo projective Μ are, respectively, defined by curvature tensor π πΌ =ΜΈ 0 (6) for all π, π ∈ Γ(ππ), where πΌ is a nonzero scalar function satisfying ∇π πΌ = π (πΌ) = ππΌ (π) = ππ (π) , (7) π being a certain scalar function given by π = −π(πΌ). Let us put ∇ππ = πΌππ, − πΆ (π, π) π = π (π, π) π − (8) (9) π (π) = π (π, π) = −1, (10) π2 π = π + π (π) π, (11) π (π, π) = π (π) , (12) πβπ=0 (13) for all π ∈ Γ(ππ). Particularly, if we take πΌ = 1, then we can obtain the πΏπ-Sasakian structure of Matsumoto [2]. Also, in an (LCS)π -manifold π, the following relations are satisfied (see [3–6]): π (π (π, π) π) = (πΌ2 − π) [π (π, π) π (π) − π (π, π) π (π)] , (14) π (π, π) π = (πΌ2 − π) [π (π, π) π − π (π) π] , (15) π (π, π) π = (πΌ2 − π) [π (π) π − π (π) π] , (16) (∇π π) π = πΌ [π (π, π) π + 2π (π) π (π) π + π (π) π] , (17) π (π, π) = (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) , π (ππ, ππ) = π (π, π) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) 1 π−2 +π (π, π) ππ − π (π, π) ππ] which tell us that π is a symmetric (1, 1)-tensor. Thus the Lorentzian manifold π together with the unit timelike concircular vector field π, its associated 1-form π, and (1, 1)type tensor field π is said to be a Lorentzian concircular structure manifold. A differentiable manifold π of dimension π is called (LCS)-manifold if it admits a (1, 1)-type tensor field π, a covariant vector field π, and a Lorentzian metric π which satisfy ππ = 0, (20) × [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π + then from (6) and (8), we can derive ππ = π + π (π) π, π [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] , π (π − 1) (18) (19) π [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] , (π − 1) (π − 2) (21) Μ (π, π) π = ππ (π, π) π π + π [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] − π π [ + π] [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] , π π−1 (22) where π and π are constants such that π, π =ΜΈ 0, and π is also the scalar curvature of π [7]. For an π-dimensional (LCS)π -manifold the quasiΜ is given by conformal curvature tensor C Μ (π, π) π = ππ (π, π) π C + π [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π +π (π, π) ππ − π (π, π) ππ] − π π [ + 2π] [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] π π−1 (23) for all π, π, π ∈ Γ(ππ) [14]. The notion of quasi-conformal curvature tensor was defined by Yano and Swaki [12]. If π = 1 and π = −1/(π − 1), then quasi-conformal curvature tensor reduces to conformal curvature tensor. 3. Quasi-Conformally Flat (LCS)π -Manifolds and Some of Their Properties For an π-dimensional quasi-conformally flat (LCS)π -manifold, we know for π = π from (23), Abstract and Applied Analysis 3 ππ (π, π) π + π [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π In view of (28) and (29), we obtain +π (π, π) ππ − π (π, π) ππ] − π π [ + 2π] [π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π] = 0. π π−1 ππ = (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (25) π π ( + 2π) π π−1 (26) Now let us consider an (LCS)π -manifold π which is conformally flat. Thus we have from (21) that π (π, π) π = + π [−ππ − π (π) (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π] = 0. − [π (π, π) + π (π) π (π)] [π (πΌ2 − π) + π (π − 1) π π ( + 2π)] π π−1 π {π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π} , (π − 1) (π − 2) (33) for all vector fields π, π, π tangent to π. Setting π = π in (33) and using (16), (18) we have [ + π [π (π, π) + π (π) π (π) (πΌ2 − π) (π − 1)] = 0, (27) that is, 1 {π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π π−2 +π (π, π) ππ − π (π, π) ππ} Taking the inner product on both sides of the last equation by π, we obtain × (πΌ2 − π) − (32) Theorem 3. A quasi-conformally flat (LCS)π -manifold M (π > 1) is a manifold of constant curvature (πΌ2 − π) provided that π + π(π − 2) =ΜΈ 0. Let π = π be in (25); then also by using (18) we obtain + π (π − 1) (πΌ − π) ] π (π, π) π = (πΌ2 − π) {π (π, π) π − π (π, π) π} , for all π, π, π ∈ Γ(ππ). If we consider Schur’s Theorem, we can give the following the theorem. + π [π (π] ππ − π (π) ππ] = 0. 2 (31) for any π ∈ Γ(ππ). By using (29) and (31) in (23) for a quasi-conformally flat (LCS)π -manifold π, we get [π (π) π − π (π) π] [π (πΌ2 − π) + π (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) [−π − π (π) π] [π (πΌ2 − π) − (30) which is equivalent to Here, taking into account of (16), we have π π − ( + 2π)] π π−1 π (π, π) = (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π, π) , (24) π − (πΌ2 − π)] [π (π) π − π (π) π] π−1 (34) = [π (π) ππ − π (π) ππ] . If we put π = π in (34) and also using (18), we obtain π (π, π) = π (π, π) ×[ ππ = [ π π π ( + 2π) − (πΌ2 − π) ( + (π − 1))] ππ π − 1 π π π + π (π) π (π) [ ( + 2π) ππ π − 1 π − (πΌ2 − π) ( + 2 (π − 1))] . π (28) Now we are in a proposition to state the following. Theorem 2. If an π-dimensional (LCS)π -manifold π is quasiconformally flat, then π is an π-Einstein manifold. Now, let {π1 , π2 , . . . , ππ−1 , π} be an orthonormal basis of the tangent space at any point of the manifold. Then putting π = π = ππ , π in (28), and taking summation for 1 ≤ π ≤ π − 1, we have π = π (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) if π + (π − 2) π =ΜΈ 0. (29) π π − (πΌ2 − π)] π + [ − π (πΌ2 − π)] π (π) π. π−1 π−1 (35) Corollary 4. A conformally flat (LCS)π -manifold is an πEinstein manifold. Generalizing the notion of a manifold of constant curvature, Chen and Yano [15] introduced the notion of a manifold of quasi-constant curvature which can be defined as follows: Definition 5. A Riemannian manifold is said to be a manifold of quasi-constant curvature if it is conformally flat and its Μ of type (0, 4) is of the form curvature tensor π Μ (π, π, π, π) π = π {π (π, π) π (π, π) − π (π, π) π (π, π)} + π {π (π, π) π΄ (π) π΄ (π) − π (π, π) π΄ (π) π΄ (π) +π (π, π) π΄ (π) π΄ (π) − π (π, π) π΄ (π) π΄ (π)} , (36) 4 Abstract and Applied Analysis for all π, π, π, π ∈ Γ(ππ), where π, π are scalars of which π =ΜΈ 0 and π΄ is a nonzero 1-form (for more details, we refer to [13, 16]). Thus we have the following theorem for (LCS)π -conformally flat manifolds. Theorem 6. A conformally flat (LCS)π -manifold is a manifold of quasi-constant curvature. Μ (π, π, π, π) π π − 2 (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) (π − 1) (π − 2) + π (π, ∇ππ) + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) Here taking account of (17), we arrive at (π − 1) (π − 2) (∇ππ) (ππ, ππ) − (∇ππ) (π, π) ) = −π (πΌ {π (π, π) π + 2π (π) π (W) π + π (π) π} , ππ) − π (ππ, πΌ {π (π, π) π + 2π (π) π (π) π + π (π) π}) × {π (π, π) π (π) π (π) − π (π, π) π (π) π (π) +π (π, π) π (π) π (π) − π (π, π) π (π) π (π)} . (37) − π (ππ, π∇ππ) + π (∇ππ, π) + π (π, ∇ππ) + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) − π (π∇ππ, ππ) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) This implies (36) for π − 2 (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) (π − 1) (π − 2) × {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) , (38) 2 π= − π (ππ, (∇ππ) π + π∇ππ) + π (∇ππ, π) ) π − π (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π= = −π ((∇ππ) π + π∇ππ, ππ) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} . (41) × {π (π, π) π (π, π) − π (π, π) π (π, π)} +( (∇ππ) (ππ, ππ) − (∇ππ) (π, π) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} Proof. From (33) and (35), we obtain =( Thus we have π − π (π − 1) (πΌ − π) (π − 1) (π − 2) , × {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} = −πΌ {π (π, π) π (π, ππ) + 2π (π) π (π) π (π, ππ) π΄ = π. +π (π) π (π, ππ)} This proves our assertion. − πΌ {π (π, π) π (ππ, π) + 2π (π) π (π) π (ππ, π) Next, differentiating the (19) covariantly with respect to π, we get 2 ∇ππ (ππ, ππ) = ∇ππ (π, π) + (π − 1) π (πΌ − π) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π [π (π) π (π)] , (39) for any π, π ∈ Γ(ππ). Making use of the definition of ∇π and (8), we have (∇ππ) (ππ, ππ) + π (∇πππ, ππ) + π (ππ, ∇πππ) = (∇ππ) (π, π) + π (∇ππ, π) + π (π, ∇ππ) + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} . (40) +π (π) π (ππ, π)} − π (ππ, π∇ππ) + π (∇ππ, π) + π (π, ∇ππ) − π (π∇ππ, ππ) + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) {π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)} . (42) Again, by using (13), (18), and (19), we reach (∇ππ) (ππ, ππ) − (∇ππ) (π, π) = −πΌπ (π) π (π, ππ) − πΌπ (π) π (ππ, π) − (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (∇ππ) − (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (∇ππ) Abstract and Applied Analysis 5 + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) Corollary 8. If an π-dimensional (πΏπΆπ)π -manifold π is locally symmetric, then πΌ2 − π is constant. + (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) Now, taking the covariant derivation of the both sides of (18) with respect to π, we have × {π (∇ππ) π (π) + πΌπ (π) π (π, ππ) +π (∇ππ) π (π) + πΌπ (π) π (π, ππ)} ππ (π, π) = (π − 1) π [(πΌ2 − π) π (π)] . = −πΌπ (π) π (π, ππ) − πΌπ (π) π (ππ, π) From the definition of the covariant derivation of Riccitensor, we have 2 + πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ − π) (∇π π) (π, π) = ∇ππ (π, π) − π (∇π π, π) − π (π, ∇ππ) × {π (π) π (π, ππ) + π (π) π (π, ππ)} = (π − 1) {π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) + (πΌ2 − π) + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) . × [π (∇ππ) + πΌπ (π, ππ)] } (43) − (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (∇π π) − πΌπ (π, ππ) Thus we have the following theorem. Theorem 7. If an (LCS)π -manifold π is Ricci-symmetric; then πΌ2 − π is constant. Proof. If π > 1-dimensional (LCS)π -manifold π is Riccisymmetric, then from (43) we conclude that πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) {π (π) π (π, ππ) + π (π) π (π, ππ)} + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π) + πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π, ππ) − πΌπ (π, ππ) . (50) If an (πΏπΆπ)π -manifold π Ricci symmetric, then Theorem 7 and (43) imply that (51) This leads us to state the following. (44) It follows that πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) {π (π, ππ) π − π (π) ππ} (45) Theorem 9. If an (LCS)π -manifold π is Ricci symmetric, then it is an Einstein manifold. Corollary 10. If an (LCS)π -manifold π is locally symmetric, then it is an Einstein manifold. In this section, an example is used to demonstrate that the method presented in this paper is effective. But this example is a special case of Example 6.1 of [6]. − πΌπ (π) πππ − πΌπ (ππ, π) π = 0, from which Example 11. Now, we consider the 3-dimensional manifold − πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (π, ππ) − (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) + π (ππ, π) = 0, = (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (π, ππ) = (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) π (ππ, π) . − πΌπ (π) π (π, ππ) − πΌπ (π) π (ππ, π) = 0. + (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π (π) π (49) (46) π = {(π₯, π¦, π§) ∈ R3 , π§ =ΜΈ 0} , (52) where (π₯, π¦, π§) denote the standard coordinates in R3 . The vector fields which is equivalent to − πΌ (π − 1) (πΌ2 − π) ππ − (π − 1) π (πΌ2 − π) π + πΌπππ = 0, (47) π1 = ππ§ (π₯ π π + π¦ ), ππ₯ ππ¦ π2 = ππ§ π , ππ¦ π π3 = ππ§ that is, π (πΌ2 − π) = 0, (48) which proves our assertion. Since ∇π = 0 implies that ∇π = 0, we can give the following corollary. (53) are linearly independent of each point of π. Let π be the Lorentzian metric tensor defined by π (π1 , π1 ) = π (π2 , π2 ) = −π (π3 , π3 ) = 1, π (ππ , ππ ) = 0, π =ΜΈ π, (54) 6 Abstract and Applied Analysis for π, π = 1, 2, 3. Let π be the 1-form defined by π(π) = π(π, π3 ) for any π ∈ Γ(ππ). Let π be the (1,1)-tensor field defined by ππ1 = π1 , ππ2 = π2 , ππ3 = 0. (55) Then using the linearity of π and π, we have π(π3 ) = −1, Since π(π) = −π3 and π(π) = −π3 and π(π, π) = π1 π1 + π2 π2 − π3 π3 , we have π (π, π) = −π2π§ π (π, π) − (π2π§ + 2) π (π) π (π) . (63) This tell us that π is an π-Einstein manifold. 2 π π = π + π (π) π3 , π (ππ, ππ) = π (π, π) + π (π) π (π) , (56) for all π, π ∈ Γ(ππ). Thus for π = π3 , (π, π, π, π) defines a Lorentzian paracontact structure on π. Now, let ∇ be the Levi-Civita connection with respect to the Lorentzian metric π, and let π be the Riemannian curvature tensor of π. Then we have [π1 , π2 ] = −ππ§ π2 , [π1 , π3 ] = −π1 , [π2 , π3 ] = −π2 . (57) Making use of the Koszul formulae for the Lorentzian metric tensor π, we can easily calculate the covariant derivations as follows: ∇π1 π1 = −π3 , ∇π2 π1 = ππ§ π2 , ∇π2 π3 = −π2 , ∇π1 π3 = −π1 , ∇π2 π2 = −ππ§ π1 − π3 , (58) ∇π1 π2 = ∇π3 π1 = ∇π3 π2 = ∇π3 π3 = 0. From the previously mentioned, it can be easily seen that (π, π, π, π) is an (LCS)3 -structure on π, that is, π is an (LCS)3 -manifold with πΌ = −1 and π = 0. Using the previous relations, we can easily calculate the components of the Riemannian curvature tensor as follows: π (π1 , π2 ) π1 = (π2π§ − 1) π2 , π (π1 , π2 ) π2 = (1 − π2π§ ) π1 , π (π1 , π3 ) π1 = −π3 , π (π1 , π3 ) π3 = −π1 , π (π2 , π3 ) π2 = −π3 , π (π2 , π3 ) π3 = −π2 , π (π1 , π2 ) π3 = π (π1 , π3 ) π2 = π (π2 , π3 ) π1 = 0. (59) By using the properties of π and definition of the Ricci tensor, we obtain π (π1 , π1 ) = π (π2 , π2 ) = −π2π§ , π (π3 , π3 ) = −2, π (π1 , π2 ) = π (π1 , π3 ) = π (π2 , π3 ) = 0. (60) Thus the scalar curvature π of π is given by 3 π = ∑π (ππ , ππ ) π (ππ , ππ ) = 2 (1 − π2π§ ) . (61) π=1 On the other hand, for any π, π ∈ Γ(ππ), π and π can be written as π = ∑3π=1 ππ ππ and π = ∑3π=1 ππ ππ , where ππ and ππ are smooth functions on π. By direct calculations, we have π (π, π) = − π2π§ (π1 π1 + π2 π2 ) − 2π3 π3 = −π2π§ (π1 π1 + π2 π2 − π3 π3 ) − π3 π3 (π2π§ + 2) .
