Miao-Tam Equation and Ricci Solitons on Three-Dimensional Trans-Sasakian Generalized Sasakian Space-Forms

Abstract

The aim of the present article is to characterize some properties of the Miao-Tam equation on three-dimensional generalized Sasakian space-forms with trans-Sasakian structures. It has been proved that in such space-forms if the Miao-Tam equation admits non-trivial solution, then the metric of the space form must be a gradient Ricci soliton. We have derived that a non-trivial solution of the Fischer-Marsden equation does not exist on the said space-forms. We have also investigated certain features of Ricci solitons and gradient Ricci solitons. At the end of the article, we construct an example to verify the obtained results.
