Main Article Content

Dibakar Dey

Abstract




In the present paper, we characterize Ricci symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds under several constraints and proved that they are Einstein manifolds. As a consequence, we obtain several corollaries. Finally, an illustrative example is presented to verify our results.
