Introduction
In 1989,K. Matsumoto [2] introduced the notion of an LP-Sasakian manifold. I.Mihai and R.Rosca [4] define the same notion independently after that many authors [3] studied an LP-Sasakian manifold Let ( M n , g ) be an n dimensional Riemannian manifold with metric tensor g and be the the Levi-Civita connection on ( M n , g ) A linear connection on ( M n , g ) is called semi-symmetric [1] if the torsion tensor T of has the form (1.1)
T ( X , Y ) = (Y ) X ( X )Y

where is a 1 -form on ( M n , g ) with as associated vector field that is ( X ) = g ( X , ) A semi-symmetric connection is called metric connection if it satisfies [5]

In [1] U.C.De and J.Sengupta define a semi-symmetric metric connection in an almost contact manifold by identifying the 1 -form of (1, 1) type with almost contact form that is given by (1.3)
T ( X , Y ) = (Y ) X ( X )Y

and studied a semi-symmetric metric connection in a locally decomposable Riemannian space whose torsion tensor T satisfies the condition (1.4)
( xT )(Y , Z ) = A( X ) T (Y , Z ) + A( X ) ( T (Y , Z ))

In [5] the relation between the semi-symmetric metric connection and the LiviCivita connection of ( M n , g ) is given by (1.5)
X Y = X Y + (Y ) X g ( X , Y )

Further, the relation between the curvature tensor R and R of type (1,3) of and is given by [5] (1.6) where (1.7)
(Y , Z ) = g ( LY , Z ) = ( Y )( Z ) (Y ) ( Z ) + ( )(Y , Z )
1 2
R ( X , Y ) Z = R ( X , Y ) Z + ( X , Z )Y (Y , Z ) X g (Y , X ) LX + g ( X , Z ) LY

The Weyl-Conformal curvature tensor in an LP-Sasakian manifold is defined as

C ( X , Y ) Z = R( X , Y ) Z + (Y , Z ) X ( X , Z )Y + g (Y , Z ) QX g ( X , Z ) QY

where
(Y , Z ) = g (QY , Z ) =
r 1 S (Y , Z ) + g (Y , Z ) , n 1 2(n 1)(n 2)

S and r is

denote the (0 ,2) Ricci tensor and the scalar curvature of the manifold

(M , g ) .

In this paper we study a semi-symmetric metric connection on an LP-Sasakian manifold satisfying the condition(1.3) and (1.4).In section 2, the brief idea of an LPSasakian manifold are given. In section 3, we find the curvature tensor of semisymmetric metric connection and prove that if the Ricci tensor of the connection vanishes, then the manifold becomes an Einstein manifold. Finally we studied the properties of specific curvature tensor with respect to connection .

Preliminaries
An n -dimension differential manifold ( M n , g ) , is called an LP-Sasakian manifolds [3] if it admits a (1,1) tensor fields , a contravariant vector fields , a covariant vector fields , and Lorentzian metric g of type (0, 2) which satisfy (2.1) (2.2) (2.3) (2.4) (2.5) (2.6 )
( ) = 1 2 X = X + ( X )
, = , = , rank ( ) = n 1

g ( X , Y ) = g ( X , Y ) + ( X ) (Y ) g ( X , ) = ( X )

,X = X

( X , Y ) = g ( X , Y ) = g ( X , Y ) = (Y , X )
( X )(Y , Z ) = g (Y , ( X ) Z ) = ( X )( Z , Y )

where, is the covariant differentiation with respect to Lorentzian metric g the Lorentzian metric g makes a time like unite vector field ,that is g ( , ) = 1 . The manifolds equipped with a Lorentzian almost Para-contact structure ( , , , g ) is said to be Lorentzian almost Para- Contact manifolds ([3],[2]) If we replace by in (1.1) and (1.2) then the triple ( , , ) is an almost Para -Contact structure on defend by Sato [7]. Lorentzian metric given by (1.4) stands analogous to the almost Para contact Riemannian manifolds ([7],[8]).A Lorentzian almost Para -Contact manifold ( M n , g ) with the ( , , , g ) structure is called a Lorentzian Para-Contact manifold [3] if.
( X , Y ) = 1 {( X )Y + (Y ) X } 2

A Lorentzian almost Para -Contact manifolds ( M n , g ) with these structure ( , , , g ) is called an LP- Sasakian manifold [3] if (2.7)
( X )(Y ) = g ( X , Y ) + (Y ) 2 X

In an LP-Sasakian manifold the 1-form is closed, further on such an LP-Sasakian manifold ( M n , g ) the following relation holds (2.8) (2.9) (2.10) (2.11) (2.12) (2.13)
g ( R( X , Y ) Z , ) = ( R ( X , Y ) Z ) = g (Y , Z ) ( X ) g ( X , Z ) (Y ) R( X , )Y = g ( X , Y ) (Y ) X R( X , Y ) = (Y ) X ( X )Y R( , X ) = X + ( X ) = 2 X S ( X , ) = (n 1) ( X ) S ( X , Y ) = S ( X , Y ) + (n 1) ( X ) (Y )

for any vector fields X , Y ( M n , g ) ([3],[9]),where S is the Ricci tensor and Q is the Ricci operator given by
S ( X , Y ) = g (QX , Y )

An LP-Sasakian manifold ( M n , g ) is said to be -Einstein if its Ricci tensor S is of the form (2.14) S ( X , Y ) = g ( X , Y ) + ( X ) (Y ) , for any vector field X , Y ,where , are function on ( M n , g ) .

Curvature tensor of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to Semisymmetric metric Connection

Theorem (3.1): The scalar curvature r of an LP-Sasakian manifolds with respect to connection is given by
r = r + 3n(n 1) 2(n 1) A( )

Proof: In view of equation (1.3), we get (3.1)

T ( X , Y ) = (Y ) X ( X )Y

Contracting (3.1) with respect to Y , we get (3.2) and (3.3)

( X C , T ) ( Z ) = (n 1) ( X ) ( Z ) (C , T ) ( Z ) = (n 1) ( Z )

In view of equation (1.4), we get (3.4)

( X C , T )( Z ) = (n 1) A( X ) ( Z ) + aA( X ) ( Z )

where a = (C , )(Y )

From equation (3.3) and (3.4), we get (3.5)

( X )( Z ) = A( X ) ( Z ) + b A(X ) ( Z ) , where b =

a n 1

From equation (2.1) and (2.4), we get (3.6)

( X ) = ( X ) ( X ) (Z ) g ( X , Z )

Again from equation (3.5) and (3.6), we have (3.7)

( X )( Z ) = ( X ) ( Z ) + g ( X , Z ) + A( X ) ( Z ) + b A(X ) ( Z )

A Type of Semi-Symmetric Metric Connection From equation (1.7) and (3.7), we get (3.8)
( X , Z ) = A( X ) ( Z ) + bA (X ) ( Z )
3 g( X , Z ) 2

67

Also from (1.7) and (3.8), we have (3.9)

LX = A( X ) + bA(X ) 3 X 2

Using (3.8)(3.9) in (1.6), we get (3.10)

R( X , Y )Z = R( X , Y )Z + 3{g(Y , Z ) X g( X , Z )Y} + _{A( X ) + bA(X )}{ (Z )Y g (Y , Z )} {A(Y ) + bA( Y )}{ (Z ) X g( X , Z )}

On satiable contracting the equation (3.10) ,we get (3.11) And (3.12)
r = r + 3n(n 1) 2(n 1) A( ) S (Y , Z ) = S (Y , Z ) + 3(n 1) g (Y , Z ) (n 2)[ A(Y ) ( Z ) + bA(Y ) ( Z )] A( ) g (Y , Z )

This complete the prove of the theorem (3.1) Theorem (3.2). If the Ricci tensor of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respected to semi-symmetric metric connection vanishes, Then the manifold becomes an Einstein manifold. Proof. From (3.11) it is clear that S is symmetric if and only if (3.13)

[A(Y ) + bA ( Y )] (Z ) = [A (Z ) + bA(Z )] (Y )
S (Y , Z ) = 3(n 1) g (Y , Z ) + (n 2)[A(Y ) ( Z ) + bA(Y ) ( Z )] + A( ) g (Y , Z )

In particular if S = 0 is then from (3.11), we get (3.14)

Since S = 0 this implies that r = 0 from (3.12) ,we get (3.15)

A( ) = 1 r + 3 n 2 n 1

In view of S is symmetric then from (3.14),we have

[A(Y ) (Z ) + bA(Y ) ( Z )] = [A(Z ) + bA(Z )] (Y )

Replacing Z = in the above equation, we get (3.16)
A ( ) (Y ) = [A(Y ) + b A(Y )]

68

Dhruwa Narain and Sunil Yadav In view of equation (3.14),(3.15) and (3.16) , we get
S ( X , Y ) = g ( X , Y ) + ( X ) (Y )

1 n 2 r 1 (r + 3n 2 3n) where = 3(n 2) and = 2 n 1 2 n 1

This complete the prove of the theorem (3.2) Theorem (3.3): The necessary and the sufficient condition for the Ricci tensor of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric metric connection to be symmetric is that
R ( X , Y ) Z + R (Y , Z ) X + R ( Z , X )Y = 0

Proof: Necessary: In view of equation (3.10), we get

R ( X , Y ) Z + R (Y , Z ) X + R ( Z , X )Y = {A( X ) + bA(X )}{ ( Z )Y g (Y , Z ) } {A(Y ) + bA(Y )}{ ( Z ) X g ( X , Z ) } + {A(Y ) + bA(Y )}{ ( X ) Z g ( Z , X ) }

{A( Z ) + bA( Z )}{ ( X )Y g (Y , X ) } + {A( Z ) + bA( Z )}{ (Y ) X g ( X , Y ) } {A( X ) + bA( X )}{ (Y ) Z g ( Z , Y ) }

On simplification, we get (3.17)

R ( X , Y )Z + R (Y , Z ) X + R (Z , X )Y = ( A( X ) + bA(X ))( (Z ) Y (Y ) X ) + ( A(Y ) + bA(Y ))(( X )Z ) (Z ) X ) + ( A(Z ) + bA( Z ))( (Y ) X ( X ) Y )

In view of equation (3.16) from (3.17), we get (3.18)

R ( X , Y ) Z + R (Y , Z ) X + R ( Z , X )Y = 0

Conversely: we suppose that the equation (3.18) holds the from (3.17),we get (3.19)
(Y )( A( Z ) + bA( Z ) ) = ( Z )( A(Y ) + bA(Y ) )

Putting Y = in the above equation, we get

A( ) ( Z ) = [A( Z ) + b A (Z )]

This implies that S is symmetric This complete the prove of the theorem (3.3)

Weyl-conformal curvature tensor

Theorem (4.1): If the Ricci tensor S of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to connection vanishes then weyl-conformal curvature tensor coincide the curvature tensor of the manifold with respect to connection .

A Type of Semi-Symmetric Metric Connection

Proof: The weyl-conformal curvature tensor C of type (1 , 3) of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric connection is defined as (4.1) where
(Y , Z ) = g (QY , Z ) =
r 1 S (Y , Z ) + g (Y , Z ) n 1 2(n 1)( n 2) C ( X , Y ) Z = R ( X , Y ) Z + (Y , Z ) X ( X , Z )Y + g (Y , Z ) Q X g ( X , Z ) Q Y

In particular S = 0 ,then r = 0 ,therefore above equation reduces as (4.2)

(Y , Z ) = 0

In view of equation (4.1) and (4.2),we get (4.3)

C ( X , Y )Z = R ( X , Y )Z

This complete the prove of the theorem (4.1)

Projective curvature tensor

Theorem (5.1): If the Ricci tensor of an LP-Sasakian manifold is symmetric, then the necessary condition for the projective curvature tensor with respect to connection is coincide to the projective curvature tensor of the manifold if A( ) = 0 . Proof: The projective curvature tensor P of type (1 , 3) of an LP-Sasakian manifold with respect to semi-symmetric connection is defined as (5.1)
P (X ,Y ) Z = R (X ,Y ) Z 1 S (Y , Z ) X S ( X , Z ) Y n 1

Using (3.10)(3.11) in (5.1) ,we get (5.2)

n2 1 A( ) [g(Y , Z ) X g( X , Z )Y ] + A( )(Z ) [( X )Y (Y ) X ] n 1 n 1 + A( )(Z ) [(Y ) X ( X )Y ] + A ( ) [( X ) g(Y , Z ) (Y ) g( X , Z ) ] P( X , Y )Z = P( X , Y )Z +

Using (2.6) (2.8) in (5.2), we get (5.3)

1 n2 A( ) R( X , Y ) Z + A( ) ( Z ) R( X , Y ) n 1 n 1 + A( ) ( Z ) R ( X , Y ) + A ( ) [ ( X ) g (Y , Z ) (Y ) g ( X , Z ) ] P ( X , Y ) Z = P( X , Y ) Z +

From (5.3) it is clear that P ( X , Y ) Z = P( X , Y ) Z if A( ) = 0 This complete the prove of the theorem (5.1)
