Abstract
In [4] M. Prvanovic considered several curvaturelike tensors
defined for Hermitian manifolds. Developing her ideas in [3], we defined in an almost contact Riemannian manifold another new curvaturelike tensor field, which is called a contact holomorphic Riemannian curvature tensor or briefly (CHR)3-curvature tensor. Then, we mainly researched (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a Sasakian manifold. Also we proved, that a conformally (CHR)3-flat Sasakian manifold does not exist. In the present paper, we consider this tensor field in a trans-Sasakian manifold. We calculate the (CHR)3-curvature tensor in a trans-Sasakian manifold. Also, the (CHR)3-Ricci tensor ρ3 and the (CHR)3-scalar curvature τ3 in a trans-Sasakian manifold have been obtained. Moreover, we define the notion of the (CHR)3-flatness in an almost contact Riemannian manifold. Then, we consider this notion in a trans-Sasakian manifold and determine the curvature tensor, the Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature. We proved that a (CHR)3-flat trans-Sasakian manifold is a generalized ɳ-Einstein manifold. Finally, we obtain the expression of the curvature tensor with respect to the Riemannian metric g of a trans-Sasakian manifold, if the latter is (CHR)3-flat.
