Abstract

This paper focuses on the essential role of the quasi-conformal curvature
 tensor in developing the theoretical foundation and applications of quasi-contact
metric geometry. The quasi-conformal curvature tensor of NC10-manifolds using the
 space associated with G structures (AGS-space) has been investigated. By deriving
 explicit expressions for the tensor components, the necessary and sufficient conditions
for considering the quasi-conformal NC10-manifold as flat quasi-conformal have been
determined. Noteworthy, it indicated that any flat quasi-conformal NC10-manifold
 is locally isometric to the product of the Kähler manifold and the real line, thus
 connecting abstract tensor properties to classical geometric structures. Moreover, the
conditions for the NC10-manifold that yield the η-Einstein structure are established.
 New analogues of Gray’s identities for the quasi-conformal curvature tensor have
been introduced for NC10-manifold.
