Almost Kenmotsu Metrics with Quasi Yamabe Soliton

In the present paper, we characterize, for a class of almost Kenmotsu manifolds, those that admit quasi Yamabe solitons. We show that if a (k, )'-almost Kenmotsu manifold admits a quasi Yamabe soliton (g, V, , ) where V is pointwise collinear with , then (1) V is a constant multiple of , (2) V is a strict infinitesimal contact transformation, and (3) (£Vh')X = 0 holds for any vector field X. We present an illustrative example to support the result.
