We find some properties of Ricci solitons with a semi-symmetric metric connection. When the potential vector field is torse-forming, we obtain characterizations. Applications to submanifolds are also given.

Abstract: In this paper, we prove some optimal inequalities involving the intrinsic scalar curvature and the extrinsic Casorati curvature of submanifolds in a generalized complex space form with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and a generalized Sasakian space form with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Moreover, we show that in both cases, the equalities hold if and only if submani...

We derive the equations of Gauss and Weingarten for a non-degenerate hypersurface of a semi-Riemannian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric metric connection, and give some corollaries of these equations. In addition, we obtain the equations of Gauss curvature and Codazzi-Mainardi for this non-degenerate hypersurface and give a relation between the Ricci and the scalar curvatures of a semi-Riema...
