product of signature (, +, . . . , +) where Tp M denotes the tangent space of M at p and R is the real number space. In a Lorentzian manifold (M, g) a vector eld dened by g(X, ) = A(X) for any vector eldX (M ) is said to be concircular vector eld [1], if (X A)(Y ) = [g(X, Y ) + (X)A(Y )] where is a non zero scalar function, A is a 1-form and is a closed 1-form. Let M be a Lorentzian manifold admitting a unit time like concircular vector eld , called the characteristic vector eld of the manifold. Then we have g(, ) = 1 (1.1) Since is the unit concircular vector eld, there exists a non-zero 1-form such that g(X, ) = (X) (1.2) and hence the equation (X )(Y ) = [g(X, Y ) + (X)(Y )] ( = 0) (1.3)

holds for all vector eld X, Y , where denotes the operator of covariant dierentiation with respect to Lorentzian metric g and is a non zero scalar function satisfying (X ) = (X) = (X), (1.4) where being a scalar function. If we put X = Then from (1.3) and (1.5), we have 2 X = X + (X), (1.6) 1 X (1.5)

from which it follows that is a symmetric (1, 1)-tensor. Thus the Lorentzian manifold M together with unit time like concircular vector eld , its associate 1-form and (1, 1)tensor eld is said to be Lorentzian concircular structute manifolds (briey (LCS)2n+1 -manifold) [2]. In particular if = 1, then the manifold becomes LP-Sasakian structure of Matsumoto [3].

Preliminaries

A dierentiable manifold M of dimension (2n + 1) is called (LCS)2n+1 manifold if it admits a (1, 1) -tensor , a contravarient vector eld , a covariant vector eld and a Lorentzian metric g which satisfy the following () = 1, 2 = I + , g(X, Y ) = g(X, Y ) + (X)(Y ), g(X, ) = (X), = 0, (X) = 0. (2.1) (2.2) (2.3) (2.4) (2.5)

for all X, Y in T M. Also in a (LCS)2n+1 -manifold the following relations are satised [4]. (R(X, Y )Z) = (2 ) [g(Y, Z)(X) g(X, Z)(Y )] , R(X, Y ) = R(, X)Y = (2 ) [(Y )X (X)Y ] , ) [(X) + X] , ) [(X)] , 2n(2 )(X)(Y ). (2 ) [g(X, Y ) (Y )X] , (2 (2.6) (2.7) (2.8) (2.9) (2.10) (2.11) (2.12)

R(, X) =

(X )(Y ) = [g(X, Y ) + 2(X)(Y ) + (Y )X] , S(X, ) = 2n(2 S(X, Y ) = S(X, Y ) +

Denition 2.1. A Lorentzian concircular structure manifold is said to be -Einstein [5] if the Ricci operator Q satises Q = aId + b , where a and b are smooth functions on the manifolds, In particular if b = 0, then M is an Einstein manifolds. Let (M, g) be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, then the Concircular curvature tensor C and the Weyl Conformal curvature tensor C are dened by [6]: r C(X, Y )Z = R(X, Y )Z [g(Y, Z)X g(X, Z)Y ] , (2.13) n(n 1) C(X, Y )Z = R(X, Y )Z 1 [S(Y, Z)X S(X, Z)Y + g(Y, Z)QX (n 2) r [g(Y, Z)X g(X, Z)Y ] , (2.14) g(X, Z)QY ] + n(n 1)

for all X, Y, Z T M , respectively, where r is the scalar curvature of M .

Main Results

In this section, we obtain a necessary and sucient condition for (LCS)2n+1 manifolds satisfying the derivation conditions C(, X) C = 0, C(, X)R = 0, C(, X) S = 0 and C(, X) C = 0. Theorem 3.1. An (2n + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian concircular structure manifold M satises C(, X) C = 0 if and only if either the scalar curvature r of M is r = 2n(2n + 1) or M is locally isometric to the Hyperbolic sphere H 2n+1 ( 2 ). Proof. In a Lorenzian concircular structure manifold M , we have C(, Y )Y = (2 ) r {g(X, Y ) (X)Y } , n(n 1) r {(Y )X (X)Y } . n(n 1) (3.1) (3.2)

C(X, Y ) = (2 )

The condition C(, X) C = 0 implies that C(, U )C(X, Y ) C(C(, U )X, Y ) C(X, C(, U )Y ) = 0. In view of (3.2), we get 0 = (2 ) r [g(U, C(X, Y )) C(X, Y )(U ) n(n + 1) g(U, X)C(, Y ) + (X)C(U, Y ) g(U, Y )C(X, )

+ (Y )C(X, U ) C(X, Y )U ]. Using (3.1), we have 0 = (2 ) r n(n + 1) r n(n + 1) (g(U, Y )X g(U, X)Y )].

[C(X, Y )U (2 )

Therefore either the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ) or C(X, Y )U (2 ) r n(n + 1) (g(U, Y )X g(U, X)Y ) = 0.

In view of (2.13), we get R(X, Y )U = (2 ) [g(Y, U )X g(X, U )Y ] This equation implies that M is of constant curvature ( 2 ). Consequently it is locally isometric to the Hyperbolic space H 2n+1 ( 2 ). Conversely, if it has the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ) then from (3.2) it follows that C(, X) = 0. Similarly, in the second case, since constant r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ), therefore again we get C(, X) = 0. Using the fact C(, X) R = 0, C(, X) is acting as a derivation, we have the following a corollary. Corollary 3.2. An (2n + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian concircular structure manifold M satises C(, X) R = 0 if and only if either M is locally isometric to the Hyperbolic sphere H 2n+1 ( 2 ) or M has the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1). Theorem 3.3. Let (M, g) be an(2n+1)-dimensional Riemannian manifold. Then R C = R R Proof. Let X, Y, U, V, W T M . Then (R(X, Y )C)(U, V, W ) = R(X, Y )C(U, V )W C(R(X, Y )U, V )W C(U, R(X, Y )V )W C(U, V )R(X, Y )W. From (2.13) and symmetric properties of the curvature tensor R, we have (R(X, Y )C)(U, V, W ) = R(X, Y )R(U, V )W R(R(X, Y )U, V )W R(U, R(X, Y )V )W R(U, V )R(X, Y )W = (R(X, Y ) R)(U, V, W ). which proves the Theorem 3.3. Theorem 3.4. An (2n + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian concircular structure manifold M satises C(, X) S = 0 if and only if either M has the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ) or is an Einstein manifold with the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ).

Proof. The condition C(, X) S = 0 implies that S(C(, X)Y, ) + S(Y, C(, X)) = 0. In view of (3.2), it gives (2 ) r n(n 1)

[g(X, Y )S(, ) S(X, )(Y ) + S(Y, )(X) + S(X, )] = 0. By the use of (2.11), we have (2 ) r n(n 1) S(X, Y ) 2n(2 )g(X, Y ) = 0.

Therefore, either the scalar curvature of M is r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ) or S(X, Y ) = 2n(2 )g(X, Y ) which implies that M is an Einstein manifold with the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n+1)(2 ), which proves the Theorem 3.4. Theorem 3.5. An (2n + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian concircular structure manifold M satises C(, X) C = 0 if and only if either M has the scalar curvature r = 2n(2n + 1)(2 ) or is an -Einstein manifold. Proof. The condition C(, X) C = 0 implies that C(, U )C(X, Y )W C(C(, U )X, Y )W C(X, C(, U )Y )W = 0 Thus in view of (3.2) gives 0 = (2 ) r [C(X, Y )W, U ) (C(X, Y )W )U n(n 1) g(U, X)C(, Y )W + (X)C(Y, U )W g(U, Y )C(X, )W

+ (Y )C(X, U )W + (W )C(X, Y )W g(U, W )C(X, Y )]. So either the scalar curvature of M is r = 2n(2n+1)(2 ) or the equation 0 = C(X, Y )W, U ) (C(X, Y )W )U g(U, X)C(, Y )W + (X)C(Y, U )W g(U, Y )C(X, )W + (Y )C(X, U )W + (W )C(X, Y )W g(U, W )C(X, Y )

holds on M . Taking the inner product of this equation with , we get 0 = C(X, Y, W, U ) C(X, Y )W )(U ) g(U, X)(C(, Y )W ) + (X)(C(Y, U )W ) g(U, Y )(C(X, )W ) Using (2.6), (2.11) and (2.14) in (3.3), we get S(Y, W ) = (2 ) r r g(Y, W ) + (2 ) + (Y )(W ), 2n(2n + 1) 2n(2n + 1) (3.3) + (Y )(C(X, U )W ) + (W )(C(X, Y )W ) g(U, W )(C(X, Y )).

which proves the Theorem 3.5. Acknowledgement : The authors are thankful to the referee for his comments in the improvement of this paper.
