The goal of the paper is to deliberate conformal Ricci soliton and *-conformal Ricci soliton within the framework of paracontact geometry. Here we prove that if an ?-Einstein para-Kenmotsu manifold admits conformal Ricci soliton and *-conformal Ricci soliton, then it is Einstein. Further we have shown that 3-dimensional para-cosymplectic manifold is Ricci flat if the manifold satisfies conformal Ricci soliton where the soliton vector field is conformal. We have also constructed some examples of para-Kenmotsu manifold that admits conformal and *-conformal Ricci soliton and verify our results.

The aim of the present paper is to characterize almost co-K?hler manifolds whose metrics are the Riemann solitons. At first we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the metric of a 3-dimensional manifold to be Riemann soliton. Next it is proved that if the metric of an almost co-K?hler manifold is a Riemann soliton with the soliton vector field ?, then the manifold is flat. It is also shown that if the metric of a (?, ?)-almost co-K?hler manifold with ? < 0 is a Riemann soliton, then the soliton is expanding and ?, ?, ? satisfies a relation. We also prove that there does not exist gradient almost Riemann solitons on (?, ?)-almost co-K?hler manifolds with ? < 0. Finally, the existence of a Riemann soliton on a three dimensional almost co-K?hler manifold is ensured by a proper example.

Let (M3, g) be a three dimensional almost coKähler manifold such that the Reeb vector field ξ is an eigenvector field of the Ricci operator Q, i.e. Qξ = ρξ, where ρ is a smooth function on M. In th...

In this article we study an almost $f$-cosymplectic manifold admitting a Ricci soliton. We first prove that there do not exist Ricci solitons on an almost cosymplectic $(\kappa,\mu)$-manifold. Further, we consider an almost $f$-cosymplectic manifold admitting a Ricci soliton whose potential vector field is the Reeb vector field and show that a three dimensional almost $f$-cosymplectic is a cosymplectic manifold. Finally we classify a three dimensional $\eta$-Einstein almost $f$-cosymplectic manifold admitting a Ricci soliton..
