N(K)-PARACOMPACT THREE METRIC AS A ETA-RICCI SOLITON

In this paper, we study Eta-Ricci soliton (n-Ricci soliton) on three di- mensional N(k)-paracontact metric manifolds. We prove that the scalar curvature of an N(k)-paracontact metric manifold admitting n-Ricci solitons is constant and the manifold is of constant curvature k. Also, we prove that such manifolds are Einstein. Moreover, we show the condition of that the n-Ricci soliton to be expanding, steady or shrinking. In such a case we prove that the potential vector field is Killing vector field. Also, we show that the potential vector field is an infinitesimal automorphism or it leaves the structure tensor in the direction perpendicular to the Reeb vector field. Finally, we illustrate an example of a three dimensional N(k)-paracontact metric manifold admitting an n-Ricci soliton.
