Abstract

This paper deals with the investigation of KK-contact and (κ,μ)(\kappa,\mu)-contact manifolds admitting a positive smooth function ff satisfying the equation: fRic˚=˚2ff\mathring{Ric}=\mathring{\nabla}^2f where Ric˚\mathring{Ric}, ˚2f\mathring{\nabla}^2f are traceless Ricci tensor and Hessian tensor respectively. We proved that if a complete and simply connected KK-contact manifold admits such a smooth function ff, then it is isometric to the unit sphere S2n+1\mathbb{S}^{2n+1}. Next, we showed that if a non-Sasakian (κ,μ)(\kappa,\mu)-contact metric manifold admit such a smooth function ff, then it is locally flat for n=1n=1 and for n>1n>1 is locally isometric to the product space En+1×Sn(4)E^{n+1}\times S^n(4).
