A Note on Gradient $\ast$-Ricci Solitons
Abstract
In the offering exposition we characterize $(k,\mu)'$- almost Kenmotsu $3$-manifolds admitting gradient $\ast$-Ricci soliton. It is shown that a $(k,\mu)'$- almost Kenmotsu manifold with $k<-1$ is admitting a gradient $\ast$-Ricci soliton, either the soliton is steady or the manifold is locally isometric to a rigid gradient Ricci soliton $\mathbb{H}^{2}(-4)\times \mathbb{R}$. .
Keywords
