A classification of $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting Cotton tensor

A classification of $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting Cotton tensor

The object of the present paper is to classify $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting Cotton tensors. We characterize $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds with vanishing and parallel Cotton tensors. Beside this, $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds satisfying Cotton semisymmetry and $Q(g,C) = 0$ are studied. Further, Cotton pseudo-symmetric $(k,\mu)'$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds are classified.
