Conformal Ricci soliton and almost conformal Ricci soliton in paracontact geometry

Abstract
In this paper, we study conformal Ricci soliton and almost conformal Ricci soliton within the framework of paracontact manifolds. Here, we have shown the characteristics of the soliton vector field and the nature of the manifold if para-Sasakian metric satisfies conformal Ricci soliton. We also demonstrate the feature of the soliton vector field V and scalar curvature when the para-Sasakian manifold admitting conformal Ricci soliton and vector field is pointwise collinear with the characteristic vector field [Formula: see text]. Next, we prove that if a K-paracontact manifold confesses a gradient conformal Ricci soliton, then it is Einstein. Next, we show that a para-Sasakian metric reveals with an almost conformal Ricci soliton that is either Einstein or [Formula: see text]-Einstein metric if the soliton vector field V is an infinitesimal contact transformation. Lastly, we decorate an example of conformal Ricci soliton on para-Sasakian manifold.
