Geometric solitons in a D-homothetically deformed Kenmotsu manifold

Abstract

We consider almost Riemann and almost Ricci solitons in a D-homothetically deformed Kenmotsu manifold having as potential vector field a gradient vector field, a solenoidal vector field or the Reeb vector field of the deformed structure, and explicitly obtain the Ricci and scalar curvatures for some cases. We also provide a lower bound for the Ricci curvature of the initial Kenmotsu manifold when the deformed manifold admits a gradient almost Riemann or almost Ricci soliton.
