1. Introduction
A Ricci soliton is a generalization of an Einstein metric. In a Riemannian manifold (M,g), g is called a Ricci soliton [18] if
£v g + 2 Ric + 2Ag = 0, (1)
where £ is the Lie derivative, V is a complete vector field on M and A is a constant. Metrics satisfying
(1) are interesting and useful in physics and are often referred as quasi-Einstein (e.g. [9], [10], [15]). Compact Ricci solitons are the fixed point of the Ricci flow
projected from the space of metrics onto its quotient modulo diffeomorphisms and scalings, and often arise as blow-up limits for the Ricci flow on compact manifolds. The Ricci soliton is said to be shrinking, steady, and expanding according as A is negative, zero, and positive respectively. If the vector field V is the gradient of a potential function —f, then g is called a gradient Ricci soliton and equation (1) assumes the form
Wf = Ric + Ag. (2)
A Ricci soliton on a compact manifold has constant curvature in dimension 2 (Hamilton [18]), and also in dimension 3 (Ivey [19]). For details we refer to Chow and Knoff [12] and Derdzinski [14]. We also recall the following significant result of Perelman [24]: A Ricci soliton on a compact manifold is a gradient Ricci soliton.
On the other hand, the roots of contact geometry lie in differential equations as in 1872 Sophus Lie introduced the notion of contact transformation (Beriihrungstransformation) as a geometric tool to study systems of differential equations. This subject has manifold connections with the other fields of pure mathematics, and substantial applications in applied areas such as mechanics, optics, phase space of a dynamical system, thermodynamics and control theory (for more details see [1], [3], [16], [21] and [22]).
It is well known [26] that the tangent sphere bundle T1M of a Riemannian manifold M admits a contact metric structure. If M is of constant curvature c =1 then T\M is Sasakian [33], and if c =
0 then the curvature tensor R satisfies R(X, Y)£ = 0
[2]. As a generalization of these two cases, in [5], Blair, Koufogiorgos and Papantoniou started the study of the class of contact metric manifolds, in which the
Вестник КемГУ № 3/1 2011 Риманова геометрия
structure vector field £ satisfies the (k, p)-nullity condition. A contact metric manifold belonging to this class is called a (k, p)-manifold. Such a structure was first obtained by Koufogiorgos [20] by applying a D„-homothetic deformation [?] on a contact metric manifold satisfying R(X,Y)£ = 0. In particular, a (k, 0)-manifold is called an N(k)-contact metric manifold ([4], [6], [32]) and generalizes the cases R(X,Y)£ = 0, K-contact and Sasakian.
In [28], Sharma has initiated the study of Ricci solitons in K-contact manifolds. In a K-contact manifold the structure vector field £ is Killing, that is, £%g = 0; which is not in general true in contact metric manifolds. Motivated by these circumstances, in this paper we study Ricci solitons in N(k)-contact metric manifolds and (k, p)-manifolds. In section , we give a brief description of N(k)-contact metric manifolds and (k, p)-manifolds. In section , we prove main results. Among others, we prove that in a non-Sasakian (or non-K-contact) N (k)-contact metric manifold (M,g), if the metric g is a Ricci soliton with V pointwise collinear with £, then dim(M) > 3, the metric g is a shrinking Ricci soliton and M is locally isometric to a contact metric manifold obtained by a D^ ^ (^ii)2 \ -homothetic deformation
manifold of constant curvature

Then, M becomes an almost contact metric manifold equipped with an almost contact metric structure (^,£,n,g). The equation (4) is equivalent to
g (X, <fY) = - g (<fX, Y)
alongwith g (X, £) = n (X). (5)
An almost contact metric structure becomes a contact metric structure if g (X, Y) = dn(X,Y) for all X,Y G TM. In a contact metric manifold M, the (1,1)-tensor field h defined by 2h = £^y>, is symmetric and satisfies
of the contact metric structure on the tangent sphere bundle of an (n + 1)-dimensional Riemannian
2. Contact metric manifolds
A 1-form n on a (2n + 1)-dimensional smooth manifold M is called a contact form if n A (dn)n = 0 everywhere on M, and M equipped with a contact form is a contact manifold. For a given contact 1-form n, there exists a unique vector field £, called the characteristic vector field, such that n(£) = 1, dn(£, •) = 0, and consequently £%n = 0, £%dn = 0. In 1953, Chern [11] proved that the structural group of a (2n + 1)-dimensional contact manifold can be reduced to U (n) x 1. A (2n + 1)-dimensional differentiable manifold M is called an almost contact manifold [17] if its structural group can be reduced to U (n) x 1. Equivalently, there is an almost contact structure (y, £, n) [25] consisting of a tensor field y of type (1,1), a vector field £, and a 1-form n satisfying
y2 = —I + n ® £, n(£) = 1, y£ = 0, n ◦ y = 0.
(3)
First and one of the remaining three relations of (3) imply the other two relations. An almost contact structure is normal [27] if the torsion tensor [y, y] + 2dn <8> £, where [y, y] is the Nijenhuis tensor of y, vanishes identically. Let g be a compatible Riemannian metric with (y, £, n), that is,
g (X, Y )= g (yX, yY) + n (X) n (Y), X,Y e TM.
(4)

(7)
where V is the Levi-Civita connection. A contact metric manifold is called a K-contact manifold if the characteristic vector field £ is a Killing vector field. An almost contact metric manifold is a K-contact manifold if and only if V£ = —y. A K -contact manifold is a contact metric manifold, while the converse is true if h = 0. A normal contact metric manifold is a Sasakian manifold. A contact metric manifold M is Sasakian if and only if the curvature tensor R satisfies
R(X,Y)£ = n(Y)X — n(X)Y, X, Y e TM. (8)
A contact metric manifold M is said to be n-Einstein ([23] or see [3] p. 105) if the Ricci tensor Ric satisfies Ric = ag + bn <8> n, where a and b are some smooth functions on the manifold. In particular if b = 0, then M becomes an Einstein manifold.
A Sasakian manifold is always a K-contact manifold. The converse is true if either the dimension is three ([3], p. 76), or it is compact Einstein (Theorem A, [8]) or compact n-Einstein with a > —2 (Theorem 7.2, [8]). The conclusions
of Theorems A and 7.2 of [8] are still true if the condition of compactness is weakened to completeness (Proposition 1, [28]).
In [5], Blair, Koufogiorgos and Papantoniou introduced a class of contact metric manifolds M, which satisfy
R(X, Y)£ = (kI + ph) (n (Y) X — n (X) Y), (9)
where k, p are real constants. A contact metric manifold belonging to this class is called a (k,p)-manifold. If p = 0, then a (k, p)-manifold is called an N(k)-contact metric manifold ([4], [6], [32]). In a (k, p)-manifold M, one has [5]
(Vxh)Y = ((1 — k) g (X, yY) + g (X, yhY)) £ +
+n (Y) (h (yX + yhX)) — pn (X) yhY (10)
for all X,Y e TM. The Ricci operator Q satisfies Q£ = 2nk£, where dim(M) = 2n +1. Moreover, h2 = (k — 1) y2 and k < 1. In fact, for a
(k, p)-manifold, the conditions of being a Sasakian manifold, a K-contact manifold, k = 1 and h = 0
Вестник КемГУ № 3/1 2011 Риманова геометрия
are all equivalent. The tangent sphere bundle T\M of a Riemannian manifold M of constant curvature c is a (k, p)-manifold with k = c(2 — c) and p = —2c. Characteristic examples of non-Sasakian (k, p)-manifolds are the tangent sphere bundles of Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature not equal to one and certain Lie groups [7]. For more details we refer to [3] and [5].
3. Main results
Let (M,y,£,n,g) be a (2n + 1)-dimensional non-Sasakian (k, p)-manifold. Then the Ricci operator Q
is given by [5]
Q =2nkI+
+ (2(n — 1) + p) h — (2 (n — 1) — np + 2nk) y2.
(11)
We also have (Vxy2) Y =
= (Xn (Y)) £ — n (VxY) £ — n (Y) yX — n (Y) yhX,
(12)
where first equation of (3) and equation (7) are used. Using (10) and (12) from (11) we obtain
(VxQ) Y = (2 (n — 1) + p) {(1 — k) g (X,yY) £ + g (X,yhY) £ — pn (X) yhY}
— (2(n — 1) — np + 2nk) {(Xn (Y)) £ — n (VxY) £}
+ (2 (2n — 1) k — (n + 1) p + kp) n (Y) yX + ((n +1) p — 2nk) n (Y) hyX.
Consequently, we have
(VxQ) Y — (VyQ) X = (2 (n + 1) p — 4(2n — 1) k — 2kp) dn (X,Y) £
+ (2 (2n — 1) k — (n +1) p + kp) (n (Y) yX — n (X) yY)
+ ((p + 3n — 1) p — 2nk) (n (Y) yhX — n (X) yhY), (13)
where (5) has been used.
We also recall the following results for later use.
Theorem 3.1. (Theorem 5.2, Tanno [32]) An Einstein N(k)-contact metric manifold of dimension > 5 is necessarily Sasakian.
Theorem 3.2. (Theorem 1.2, Tripathi and Kim [34]) A non-Sasakian Einstein (k, p)-manifold is flat and 3-dimensional.
Now we prove the following
Theorem 3.3. If the metric g of an N(k)-contact metric manifold (M, g) is a gradient Ricci soliton, then
(a) either the potential vector field is a nullity vector field,
(b) or g is a shrinking soliton and (M, g) is
Einstein Sasakian,
(c) or g is a steady soliton and (M,g) is 3-
dimensional and flat.
Proof. Let (M,g) be a (2n + 1)-dimensional N(k)-contact metric manifold and g a gradient Ricci soliton. Then the equation (2) can be written as
Vy Df = QY + AY (14)
for all vector fields Y in M, where D denotes the
gradient operator of g. From (14) it follows that
R (X, Y) Df = (VxQ) Y — (VyQ) X, X,Y e TM.
(15)
We have
g (R (£, Y) Df, £)= g (k (Df — (£f) £) ,Y), (16)
where (9) with p = 0 is used. Also in an N (k)-contact metric manifold, it follows that
g ((VtQ) Y — (VyQ) £,£) = 0, Y e TM. (17)
From (15), (16) and (17) we get
k (Df — (£f) £) = 0,
that is, either k = 0 or
Df = (£f) £. (18)
If k = 0, then putting k = 0 = p in (13), it follows that Q is a Codazzi tensor, that is,
(VxQ) Y — (VyQ) X = 0, X,Y e TM,
which in view of (15) gives
R (X, Y) Df = 0, X, Y e TM,
that is, the potential vector field Df is a nullity vector field (see [13] and [31] for details).
Now, we assume that (18) is true. Using (18) in
(14) we get
Ric (X, Y) + Ag (X, Y) =
= Y (£f) n (X) — (£f) g (X, yY) — (£f) g (X, yhY),
Вестник КемГУ № 3/1 2011 Риманова геометрия
where (7) is used. Symmetrizing this with respect to X and Y we obtain
2 Ric (X,Y)+2Xg (X,Y) =
= X (f) n (Y) + Y (£f) n (X) - 2 (£f) g (yhX, Y).
(19)
Putting Y = £, we get
X (£f ) = (2nk + X) n (X). (20)
From (19) and (20) we get
Ric (X, Y) + Xg (X, Y) =
= (2nk + X) n (X) n (Y) - (£f) g (yhX, Y). (21)
Using (21) in (14), we get
Vy Df = (2nk + X) n (Y) £ - (£f) yhY. (22)
Using (22) we compute R (X, Y) Df and obtain
g (R (X, Y) (£f) £,£)=4 (2nk + X) dn (X, Y), (23)
where equations (18) and (7) are used. Thus we get
2nk + X = 0 (24)
Therefore from equation (20) we have
X (£f) = 0, X e TM,
that is,
f = c,
where c is a constant. Thus the equation (18) gives df = cn.
Its exterior derivative implies that c dn = 0,
that is, c = 0. Hence f is constant. Consequently, the equation (14) reduces to
Ric = -Xg = 2nkg,
that is, M is Einstein. Then in view of Theorem 3.2 and Theorem 3.1, it follows that either M is Sasakian or M is 3-dimensional and flat. In case of Sasakian, X = -2n is negative, and therefore the soliton g is shrinking. In case of 3-dimensional and flat, X = 0, and therefore the soliton g is steady.
Corollary 3.4. Let (M,g) be a compact N(k)-contact metric manifold with k = 0. If g is a Ricci soliton, then g is a shrinking soliton and (M, g) is Einstein Sasakian.
Proof. The proof follows from Theorem 3.3 and the following significant result of Perelman [24]: A Ricci soliton on a compact manifold is a gradient Ricci soliton.
In [28], a corollary of Theorem 1 is stated as follows: If the metric g of a compact K-contact manifold is a Ricci soliton, then g is a shrinking soliton which is Einstein Sasakian. In Corollary , the assumptions are weakened.
Next, we have the following
Theorem 3.5. In a non-Sasakian (k,p) -manifold (M, g) if g is a compact Ricci soliton, then (M, g) is З-dimensional and flat.
Proof. In a non-Sasakian (k, p)-manifold, the scalar curvature r is given by [5]
r = 2n (2n — 2 + k — np).
(25)
Consequently, the scalar curvature is a constant. If g is a compact Ricci soliton, then by Proposition 2 of [28], which states that a compact Ricci soliton of constant scalar curvature is Einstein, it follows that the non-Sasakian (k, p)-manifold is Einstein. Then by Theorem 3.2, it becomes З-dimensional and flat.
Given a non-Sasakian (к, p)-manifold M, Boeckx [Т] introduced an invariant
I
M
І - ЛІ2
VІ — к
and showed that for two non-Sasakian (к,р)~ manifolds (Мі,уі,£і,Пі,ді), i = 1,2, we have IMl = Im2 if and only if up to a Д-homothetic deformation, the two manifolds are locally isometric as contact metric manifolds. Thus we know all non-Sasakian (к, p)-manifolds locally as soon as we have for every odd dimension 2n + 1 and for every possible value of the invariant I, one (к, p)-manifold (М,у,£,ц, g) with IM = I. For I > —1 such examples may be found from the standard contact metric structure on the tangent sphere bundle of a manifold of constant curvature с where we have I = y—7\ . Boeckx also gives a Lie algebra construction for any odd dimension and value of I < —1.
In the following, we recall Example 3.1 of [6].
Example 3.6. For n > 1, the Boeckx invariant for a (2n + 1)-dimensional (1 — П, 0)-manifold is y/n > —1. Therefore, we consider the tangent
sphere bundle of an (n + 1)-dimensional manifold of constant curvature с so chosen that the resulting ^a-homothetic deformation will be a (1 — П, 0) -manifold. That is for к = с(2 — с) and ¡л = —2с we solve

for a and c. The result is

and taking c and a to be these values we obtain a N (1 — n)-contact metric manifold.
In [28], Sharma noted that if a K-contact metric is a Ricci soliton with V = £ then it is Einstein.

Even in more general case, he showed that if a K-contact metric is a Ricci soliton with V pointwise collinear with £ then V is a constant multiple of £ (hence Killing) and g is Einstein. Here we prove the following
Theorem 3.7. Let (M, g) be a non-Sasakian (or non-K-contact) N (k)-contact metric manifold. If the metric g is a Ricci soliton with V pointwise collinear with £, then dim(M) > 3, the metric
g is a shrinking Ricci soliton and M is locally isometric to a contact metric manifold obtained by a D/ (v^ii)2 \-homothetic deformation of the
l1+ n-i )
contact metric structure on the tangent sphere bundle of an (n + 1)-dimensional Riemannian manifold of
constant curvature (.
Proof. Let (M,g) be a (2n + l)-dimensional contact metric manifold and the metric g a Ricci soliton with V = a£ (a being a function on M). Then from (1) we obtain
2Ric (X, Y) = -2Xg (X, Y) + 2ag (yhX, Y) -
-g ((Xa) £,Y) - g (X, (Ya) £), (26)
where (7) and (5) are used. Now let (M,g) be an N (k)-contact metric manifold. Putting X = £ = Y in (26) and using h£ = 0 and Q£ = 2nk we get
£a + 2nk + X = 0.
(27)
Again putting X = £ in (26) and using h£ = 0, Q£ = 2nk and (27) we get
da = (2nk + X) n,
(28)
which shows that a is a constant and A = -2nk; and consequently (26) becomes
Ric (X, Y) = 2nkg (X, Y) + ag (yhX, Y). (29)
At this point, we assume that (M, g) is also non-Sasakian. It is known that in a (2n + 1)-dimensional non-Sasakian (k, p)-manifold M the Ricci tensor is given by [5]
Ric (X, Y) = (2 (n - 1) - np) g (X, Y) +
+ (2 (n - 1)+ p) g (hX,Y) +
+ (2(1 - n) + n (2k + p)) n (X) n (Y). (30)
Consequently, putting p = 0 in (30) we get
Ric (X, Y )=2(n - 1) g (X, Y) +
+2 (n - 1) g (hX, Y) +
+ (2(1 — n) + 2nk) n (X) n (Y) .
(31)
Replacing X by yX in equations (29) and (31) and equating the right hand sides of the resulting equations we get
(2nk - 2 (n - 1)) g (yX, Y) =
= ag (hX, Y ) + 2(n - 1) g (yhX, Y) . (32)
If n = 1, from (32) we get
2kg (yX, Y) = ag (hX, Y),
which gives h = 0, a contradiction. If n > 1, anti-symmetrizing the equation (32) we get
nk - n + 1 = 0,
which gives k = 1 - 1/n. Using n > 1 and k = 1 - 1/n in A = -2nk, we get A = 2(1 - n) < 0, which shows that g is a shrinking Ricci soliton. Finally, in view of n > 1, k = 1 - 1/n and the Example 3.6, the proof is complete.
