Abstract

А non-holonomic Kenmotsu manifold equipped with a connection analogous to the generalized Tanaka — Webster connection, is consid­ered. The studied connection is obtained from the generalized Tanaka — Webster connection by replacing the first structural endomorphism by the second structural endomorphism. The obtained connection is also called in the work the generalized Tanaka — Webster connection.

Unlike a Kenmotsu manifold, the structure form of a non-holonomic Kenmotsu manifold is not closed. The consequence of this single differ­ence is a significant discrepancy in the properties of such manifolds. For example, it is proved in the paper that the alternation of the Ricci-Schouten tensor of a non-holonomic Kenmotsu manifold, which is a transverse analogue of the Ricci tensor, is proportional to the external differential of the structural form. At the same time, in the classical case of a Kenmotsu manifold, the Ricci — Schouten tensor is a symmetric tensor.

It is proved that a Tanaka — Webster connection is a metric connec­tion. It is also proved that from the fact that the alternation of the Ricci-Schouten tensor is proportional to the external differential of the structur­al form, the following statement holds: if a non-holonomic Kenmotsu manifold is an Einstein manifold with respect to the generalized Tanaka — Webster connection, then it is Ricci-flat with respect to the same con­nection.
