“…In [29], authors have considered * -Ricci solitons and gradient almost * -Ricci solitons on Kenmotsu manifolds and obtained some beautiful results. Many authors studied conformal Ricci solitons and their generalizations in the framework of almost contact and paracontact geometries, e.g., Kenmotsu manifold [3,7,24], Sasakian manifold [6,23], f -Kenmotsu manifold [18,21], para-Kähler manifold [7] and (κ, µ)-paracontact metric manifolds [27]. Ricci solitons and their generalizations have been enormously studied by many authors within the framework of contact and paracontact metric manifolds (see in details [6, 8-10, 12, 13, 19, 20, 25, 26]).…”
