Abstract
We introduce the concept of (ε)-almost paracontact manifolds, and in particular, of (ε)-para-Sasakian manifolds. Several examples are presented. Some typical identities for curvature tensor and Ricci tensor of (ε)-para Sasakian manifolds are obtained. We prove that if a semi-Riemannian manifold is one of flat, proper recurrent or proper Ricci-recurrent, then it cannot admit an (ε)-para Sasakian structure. We show that, for an (ε)-para Sasakian manifold, the conditions of being symmetric, semi-symmetric, or of constant sectional curvature are all identical. It is shown that a symmetric spacelike (resp., timelike) (ε)-para Sasakian manifoldMnis locally isometric to a pseudohyperbolic spaceHνn(1)(resp., pseudosphereSνn(1)). At last, it is proved that for an (ε)-para Sasakian manifold the conditions of being Ricci-semi-symmetric, Ricci-symmetric, and Einstein are all identical.
