Abstract
In this present paper, a class of Lorentzian almost paracontact metric manifolds known as the LP-Kenmotsu (Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu) is considered that accepts a connection of quarter-symmetric. In this work, it was found that an LP-Kenmotsu manifold is either <p-symmetric or concircular <p-symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection if and only if it is symmetric with respect to the Riemannian connection, provided the scalar curvature ofRiemannian connection is constant.
Keywords: Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold, quarter- symmetric metric connection, concircu-iar curvature tensor.

I. Introduction
In 1989, Matsumoto [4] introduced the notion of Lorentzian paracontact and in particular, Lorentzian para-Sasakian (LP-Sasakian) manifolds. Later, these manifolds have been widely studied by many geometers such as Matsumoto and Mihai [5], Mihai and Rosca [6], Mihai, Shaikh and De [7], Venkatesha and C. S. Baggewadi [13], Venkatesha, Pradeep Kumar and Bagewadi [14,15] and obtained several results on these manifolds.
In 1995, Sinha and Sai Prasad [11] defined a class of almost paracontact metric manifolds namely para-Kenmotsu (briefly P-Kenmotsu) and special para-Kenmotsu (briefly SP- Kenmotsu) manifolds in similar to P-Sasakian and SP- Sasakian manifolds. In 2018, Abdui Haseeb and Rajendra Prasad [1] defined a class of Lorentzian almost paracontact metric manifolds namely Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu (briefly LP- Kenmotsu) manifolds. As an extension, many geometers have studied these Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds [8, 10,12]. Sai Prasad, Sunitha Devi and Deekshituiu have considered LP-Kenmotsu manifolds admitting the Weyi-projective curvature tensor W2 and shown that these manifolds admitting a Weyi-flat projective curvature tensor, an irrotationai Weyi-projective curvature tensor and a conservative Weyi-projective curvature tensor are an Einstein manifolds of constant scalar curvature [9].
A linear connection v in an n-dimensionai differentiabie manifold is said to be a quarter-
symmetric connection [3] if its torsion tensor T is of the form
T(X, Y) = vxY -vYX - [X, Y] = n(Y)$X - n(X)QY,
where n is a 1-form and ty is a tensor field of type (1,1). In particular, if we replace tyX by X and tyY by Y, then the quarter-symmetric connection reduces to the semi-symmetric connection [2]. Thus, the notion of quarter-symmetric connection generalizes the idea of semi-symmetric connection, and if quarter-symmetric linear connection v satisfies the condition ^vxg^J (Y, Z) = 0 for all
X, Y, Z g x (Mn), where x (Mn) is the Lie algebra of vector fields on the manifold Mn, then v is said to be a quarter-symmetric metric connection.
Motivated by these studies, in the present paper, we study the geometry of Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu (LP-Kenmotsu) manifolds with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection. The present paper is organized as follows. Section 2 is equipped with some prerequisites about Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds.
Further on, in relation to the quarter-symmetric metric connection in an Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold, we derive the relations for the Ricci tensor S and the Riemannian curvature tensor R in section 3.
Further in sections 4 and 5, we study the ty-symmetry and concircular ty-symmetry of Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection respectively.
II. Preliminaries
An n-dimensional differentiable manifold Mn admitting a (1,1) tensor field contravariant vector field e, a 1-form n and the Lorentzian metric g(X, Y) satisfying
= -1, (2)
<£2 X = X + n (X)e, (3)
g(QX, QY) = g(X, Y)+ n(X)n(Y), (4)
g(X, e ) = n (X), (5)
№ = 0, n(QX) = 0, ranty = n - 1. (6) is called Lorentzian almost paracontact manifold [4].
In a Lorentzian almost paracontact manifold, we have
$(X,Y) = ®(Y,X) where ®(X,Y) = g(<pX,Y). (7)
A Lorentzian almost paracontact manifold Mn is called Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold if [1]
(Vx$) Y = -g (<pX, Y) e - n (Y) QX, (8)
for any vector fields X and Y on Mn, and v is the operator of covariant differentiation with
respect to the Lorentzian metric g.
It can be easily seen that in a LP-Kenmotsu manifold Mn, the following relations hold [1]:
Vx e = -f x = -X - n (X) e, (9)
(Vxn) Y = -g (X, Y) e - n (X) n (Y), (10)
for any vector fields X and Y on Mn.
Also, in an LP-Kenmotsu manifold, the following relations hold [1]:
g(R(X, Y)Z, e) = n(R(X, Y)Z) = g(Y, Z)n(X) - g(X, Z)n(Y) (11)
<2 (VwR) (X, Y) Z = 0, (17)
R(£, X)Y = g(X, Y)£ - n(Y)X, (12)
R(X, Y)£ = n(Y)X - n(X)Y, (13)
S(X,£) = (n - 1)n(X), (14)
S(<X,<Y) = S(X, Y) + (n - 1)n(X)n(Y) (15)
for any vector fields X, Y and Z, where R is the Riemannian curvature tensor and S is the Ricci
tensor of Mn.
Definition 1. An LP- Kenmotsu manifold Mn is said to be symmetric if
(VwR)(X, Y) Z = 0, (16)
for all vector fields X, Y, Z and W.
Definition 2. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold Mn is said to be ^-symmetric if
W
for all vector fields X, Y, Z and W.
Definition 3. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold Mn is said to be concircular symmetric if
(VwC) (X, Y) Z = 0, (18)
for all vector fields X, Y and Z. Here C is the concircular curvature tensor and is given by [16]
r
C (X, Y) Z = R (X, Y) Z - -n^Y) [g (Y, Z) X - g (X, Z) Y], (19)
for all vector fields X, Y and Z, where R and r are the Riemannian curvature tensor and scalar curvature respectively.
Definition 4. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold Mn is said to be concircular ^-symmetric if
W
for all vector fields X, Y, Z and W
<2 (VwC) (X, Y) Z = 0, (20)
III. Expression of R (X, y) z in terms of r (x, y) z
In this section we express RR (X, Y) Z, the curvature tensor with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection, in terms of R (X, Y) Z which is the curvature tensor with respect to Riemannian connection.
Let v be a linear connection and v be a Riemannian connection of an almost contact metric manifoid Mn such that
vxY = VxY + U (X, Y), (21)
where U is a tensor of type (1,1). For v to be a quarter-symmetric metric connection in Mn, we have
i
U (X, Y) = - [T (X, Y) + T' (X, Y) + T' (Y, X^ (22)
and
g(T'(X, Y), Z)= g(T(Z, X), Y). (23)
From (1) and (23), we get
T(X, Y) = n(Y)QX - g(QX, Y)e. (24)
Using (1) and (24) in (22), we obtain
U (X, Y)= n (Y) QX - g (QX, Y) e.
Thus the quarter-symmetric metric connection v in an LP-Kenmotsu manifold is given by
VxY = VxY + n (Y) QX - g (QX, Y) e, (25)
which is the relation between Riemannian connection and the quarter-symmetric metric connection on Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds.
Similarly, on simplication, we obtain the relation between the curvature tensor R (X, Y) Z of Mn with respect to the quarter-symmetric metric connection v and the curvature tensor R (X, Y) Z of Riemannian connection v as follows:
R(X, Y)Z = R(X, Y)Z + [g(QY, Z) + g(Y, Z)e]QX]
- [g(QX, Z)+ g(X, Z)e]QY (26)
+ Xg(QY, Z) - Yg(QX, Z).
Then from (26), it follows that
S (Y, Z)= S (Y, Z), (27)
where S and S are the Ricci tensors of the connections v and v respectively.
Further contracting (27), we get
r = r, (28)
where r and r are the scalar curvatures of the connections v and v respectively.
IV. Symmetry of LP-Kenmotsu manifold with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection
By the definition of symmetric LP-Kenmotsu manifold with respect to Riemannian connection, we define a symmetric LP-Kenmotsu manifold with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection by
fVwR) (X, Y) Z = 0, (29)
(30)
where
(vwR) (X, Y) Z = vW (R (X, Y) Z) - R ( (vwX, y) Z
- R ( (X, vwY) z) - R ((X, Y) VWZ^ ,
for all vector fields X, Y, Z and w.
vW (R (X, Y) Z) = Vw (R (X, Y) Z) + n (R (X, Y) Z) QW
- g (QW, (R (X, Y) Z)) e,
R ( (vwX, Y^Z = R (VwX, Y) Z + n (X) R (QW, Y) Z
- g (QW, X) R (e, Y) Z,
R ( (x, vw^ z) = R (X, VwY) Z + n (Y) R (X, QW) Z
- g (QW, Y) R (X, e) Z,
(31)
(32)
R ((X, Y) vwz) =R (X, Y) VWZ + n (Z) R (X, Y) <W
(34)
g (<pW, Z) R (X, Y) l,
R(l, Y)Z = g(Y, Z)l - n(Z)Y - n(Z)<Y£ + g(<Y, Z)l, (35)
R(X, l)Z = n(Z)X - g(X, Z)l - n(z)<xi + g(<X, Z)l, (36)
R(X, Y)l = n(Y)X - n(X)Y + n(Y)<Xl - n(X)<Yl. (37) By using (25), (31) to (37) in (30), we get
(vwR) (X, Y) Z = (VwR) (X, Y) Z + n (R (X, Y) Z) <W
- g (<W, R (X, Y) Z) l - n (X) R (<W, Y) Z
- n (Y) R (X, <W) Z + g (W, <X) R (l, Y) Z (38) + g (W, <Y) R (X, l) Z + g (W, <Z) R (X, Y) l
- n (Z) R (X, Y) <W.
Then by differentiating (26) with respect to W and on using (6), (7) and (10), we get
(VwR)(X,Y)Z = (VwR)(X,Y)Z - [g(<W,Y)n(Z) + g(<W,Z)n(Y) + Wg(Y, Z) + n(W)g(Y, Z)l]<X + [g(<W, X)n(Z) + g(<W, Z)n(X) + Wg(X, Z)+ n(W)g(X, Z)l]<Y
+ g(<X, Z)[g(<W, Y)l + n(Y)<W] (39)
- g(<Y, Z)[g(<W, X)l + n(X)<W ] + [n(Y)g(X, Z)l - n(X)g(Y, Z)l]<W + [Yg(<W, X) - Xg(<W, Y)]n(Z) + g(<W, Z)[n(X)Y - n(Y)X]. Therefore, by using (2), (8) and (39) in (38), we obtain
(VwR) (X, Y) Z = (VwR) (X, Y) Z. (40)
Thus we can state the following:
Theorem 1. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is symmetric with quarter-symmetric metric connection v if and only if it is symmetric with respect to Riemannian connection v.
Corollary 1. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is ^-symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection v if and only if it is symmetric with respect to Riemannian connection v.
V. Concircular symmetry of LP-Kenmotsu manifold with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection
An LP-Kenmotsu manifold Mn is said to be a concircular symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection if
(VwC)(X, Y)Z = 0, (41)
for all vector fields X, Y, Z and W. Here the concircular curvature tensor C with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection is given by
?(X, Y)Z = R(X, Y)Z - [g(Y, Z)X - g(X, Z)Y], (42)
where R is the Riemannian curvature tensor and r is the scalar curvature of the quarter-symmetric metric connection v.
Using (25), we can write
(v wC)(X, Y)Z = (VW£)(X, Y)Z + n(£(X, Y)Z)$W
- g($(Z(X, Y)Z, W))£ - n(X)Z(#W, Y)Z
- n(Y)C(X, )Z - n(Z)C(X, Y)$W (43) + g($W, X)C(£, Y)Z + g($W, Y)C(X, £ )Z
+ g($W, Z)C(X, Y)£. Now on differentiating (42) with respect to W, we obtain
(VwC)(X, Y)Z = (VwR)(X, Y)Z - -V-Y)[g(Y, Z)X - g(X, Z)Y]. (44)
Therefore, by using of (28) and (39), we get from (44) that
(VwC)(X, Y)Z = (VwR)(X, Y)Z - [g(<pW, Y)n(Z) + g($W, Z)n(Y) + Wg(Y, Z) + n(W)g(Y, Z)£]$X + [g($W, X)n(Z) + g(#W, Z)n(X) + Wg(X, Z) + n(W )g(X, Z)£]$Y + g($X, Z)[g($W, Y)£ + n(Y)$W]
- g($Y, Z)[g(<pW, X)£ + n(X)<pW] (45)
+ [n(Y)g(X, Z)£ - n(X)g(Y, Z)£]$W + [Yg(4>W, X) - Xg($W, Y)]n(Z) + g($W,Z)[n(X)Y - n(Y)X] Vwr
-[g(Y, Z)X - g(X, Z)Y].
(46)
n(n -1)
Then by making use of (19), we rewrite the above equation (45) as
(VwC)(X, Y)Z = (VwC)(X, Y)Z - [g(0W, Y)n(Z) + g($W, Z)n(Y) + Wg(Y, Z) + n(W)g(Y, Z)^X + [g($W, X)n(Z) + g(#W, Z)n(X) + Wg(X, Z)+ n(W)g(X, Z)£]$Y + g(#X, Z)[g(#W, Y)Z + n(Y)$W] - g($Y, Z)[g(#W, X)£ + n(X)$W ] + [n(Y)g(X, Z)£ - n(X)g(Y, Z)£]$W + [Yg($W, X) - Xg($W, Y)]n(Z) + g($W, Z)[n(X)Y - n(Y)X].
Using (2), (6) and (46) in (43), we get
(VwC)(X, Y)Z = (VwC)(X, Y)Z. (47)
Hence we can state the following:
Theorem 2. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is concircular symmetric with respect to v if and
only if it is so with respect to Riemannian connection v.
Corollary 2. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is concircular ^-symmetric with respect to v if and only if it is so with respect to Riemannian connection v.
Now taking (2), (6) and (45) in (43), we get
(VW£)(X, Y)Z = (VWR)(X, Y)Z - -V-^W, Z)X - g(X, Z)Y]. (48)
If scalar curvature r is constant, the above equation (48) reduces to
(V wC)(X, Y)Z = (VwR)(X, Y)Z. (49)
Thus we have the following assertion.
Theorem 3. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is concircular symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection v if and only if it is symmetric with respect to Riemannian
connection v, provided the scalar curvature r is constant.
Corollary 3. An LP-Kenmotsu manifold is concircular ^-symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection v if and only if it is symmetric with respect to Riemannian
connection v, provided the scalar curvature r is constant.
VI. Conclusion
We explore a class of Lorentzian almost paracontact metric manifolds known as the Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu that accepts a quarter-symmetric connection. In relation to the quarter-symmetric metric connection, the relations for the Ricci tensor and the Riemannian curvature tensor in a Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold were derived. Further, it was found that an LP-Kenmotsu manifold is either ^-symmetric or concircular ^-symmetric with respect to quarter-symmetric metric connection if and only if it is symmetric with respect to the Riemannian connection, provided the scalar curvature of Riemannian connection is constant. The paper ends with a handful of bibliography.
