$D_a$-HOMOTHETIC DEFORMATION AND RICCI SOLITIONS IN THREE DIMENSIONAL QUASI-SASAKIAN MANIFOLDS

Abstract

In the present paper, we have studied curvature tensors of a quasi-Sasakian manifold with respect to the $D_a$-homothetic deformation. We have deduced the Ricci solition in quasi-Sasakian manifold with respect to the $D_a$-homothetic deformation. We have also proved that the quasi-Sasakian manifold is not $\bar{\xi}$-projectively flat under $D_a$-homothetic deformation. Also we give an example to prove the existance of quasi-Sasakian manifold.
