  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

The aim of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifolds and Ricci solitons. First, we give an example of a 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold. Then we consider a Riccisemisymmetric 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold and prove that a 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold is Ricci semisymmetric if and only if it is an Einstein manifold. Moreover, we investigate an η-parallel Ricci tensor in a 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold. Finally, we study Ricci solitons in a 3-dimensional f-Kenmotsu manifold.
