It is well known that a Sasakian space form is pseudo-symmetric [M. Belkhelfa, R. Deszcz and L. Verstraelen, Symmetry properties of Sasakian space-forms, Soochow J. Math. 31(4) (2005) 611–616], therefore it is Ricci-pseudo-symmetric. In this paper, we proved that a normal complex contact manifold is Ricci-semi-symmetric if and only if it is an Einstein manifold; moreover, we showed that a complex contact space form [Formula: see text] with constant [Formula: see text]-sectional curvature [Formula: see text] is properly Ricci-pseudo-symmetric [Formula: see text] if and only if [Formula: see text]; in this case [Formula: see text]. We gave an example of properly Ricci-pseudo-symmetric complex contact space form. On the other hand, we proved the non-existence of proper pseudo-symmetric ([Formula: see text]) complex contact space form [Formula: see text]
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
