Inoducion The confomal cuvaue enso C is invaian unde confomal ansfomaions and vanishes idenically fo 3-dimensional manifolds. Using his fac many auhos [1, 3, 4, 6] sudied 3-dimensional almos conac manifolds. In [5], hey inoduced a new class of almos conac manifold M * conaining quasi-sasaian and ans-sasaian sucue. Moeove hey consuced non-ivial examples. In his pape, we sudy a 3- dimensional η-einsein manifold M * by use of he fac ha C vanishes idenically and he special fom of Ricci cuvaue. Consequenly, we pove ha he 3-dimensional η-einsein manifold M * becomes eihe Sasaian o cosymplecic manifold, and is a space of consan cuvaue. In he cosymplecic case, M * is fla, and if M * is Sasaian, complee and simply conneced, hen M * is isomeic o he 3-dimensional uni sphee, ha is M * is eihe fla o isomeic o S 3 (1) unde his opological condiion.. Almos conac meic sucue Le M be an m-dimensional eal diffeeniable manifold of class C coveed by a sysem of coodinae neighbohoods { Ux ; h, in which hee ae given a enso field φ of ype (1,1), a veco field ξ and a 1-fom η saisfying (.1) φ X = X η( X) ξ, φ ξ = 0, η( φx)= 0, η( ξ)= 1 fo any veco field X on M. Such a se of φξη,, is called an almos conac sucue and we call a manifold wih an almos conac sucue an almos conac manifold.

30 YOSHIO AGAOKA, BYUNG HAK KIM AND JIN HYUK CHOI fo all veco fields X and Y on M, we say M has an almos conac meic sucue and g is called a compaible meic. Seing Y = ξ, we have immediaely η( X)= g( X, ξ). The fundamenal -fom Φ is defined by Φ( XY, )= g( φxy, ). I is nown ha he almos conac sucue φξη,, is nomal if and only if he Nijenhuis enso g ( φx, φy )= g ( X, Y ) η( X) η( Y) NXY, φφ, ( X,Y) dη( X, Y) ξ = [ ] vanishes, whee [, ] is a bace opeaion and d denoes he exeio deivaive. An almos conac meic sucue ( φξη,,,g) on M is said o be (a) Sasaian if Φ = dη and ( φξη,, ) is nomal, (b) cosymplecic if Φ and η ae closed and ( φξη,, ) is nomal. In [5], one of he pesen auho defined a new class of almos conac meic sucue on M which saisfies (*) d Φ = 0, ξ = λφx X and ( φξη,, ) is nomal fo a smooh funcion λ on M and denoes he Riemannian connecion fo g. Biefly, we denoe such a manifold by M *. I is easily seen ha M * is cosymplecic if λ = 0, and Sasaian if λ is a non-zeo consan. Theoem 1 [5]. On M *, we have (.) (.3) (.4) (.5) ( φ)( YZ, )= λ η( Y) g( XZ, ) η( g( XY, ), X { = { RX, ξ Y Xλ φy λ η YX g XY, ξ, ξλ = 0, = S ξ, X φx λ ( m 1) λ η( X), whee S is he Ricci cuvaue enso and R is he cuvaue enso defined by [ X Y] [ XY, ] RXYZ (, ) =, Z Z. 3. 3-dimensional almos conac manifolds Le M * be a 3-dimensional manifold saisfying (*). I is well nown [] ha he confomal cuvaue enso of Weyl vanishes idenically fo 3-dimensional manifolds. Theefoe he cuvaue enso R of a 3- dimensional manifold M * is given by (3.1) RXYZ (, ) = SXZY (, ) SYZX (, ) g( XZQY, ) { g( YZQX, ) g( XZY, ) g ( YZX, ),

Using (.3), (.5) and (3.1), we have (3.) = SXY, η X φyλ η Y φxλ g XY, X Y. λ λ 3 η η( ) If we subsiue (3.) ino (3.1), hen we ge (3.3) RXYZW (,,, )= g RXYZW (, ), = η( X) (( φ λ) g( Y, W) η( (( φx) λ) g ( Y, W) η( Y) (( φ λ) g( XW, ) η( (( φy) λ) g( XW, ) η( Y) (( φw) λ) g( X, η( W) (( φy) λ) g( X, η( X) (( φw) λ) g ( Y, η( W) (( φx) λ) g ( Y, λ g( XZ, ) g( YW, ) g( YZ, ) g( XW, ) 3λ η( X) ( Y W) η( Y) ( X W) η Z { g, g, η( Y) g( X, η( X) g( Y, η( W). { If we pu Y = ξ in (3.3), hen by (.3) we obain ha is (3.4) (3.5) o in local componens (3.6) whee λ = λ and he indices i, j,, un ove he ange {1,,...,m. Fom (3.5) o (3.6), we can calculae (3.7) whee λ = g i λ i ( Xλ) Φ( Z, W) λ { η( g( X, W) η( W) g( X, = λ { η( g( X, W) η( W) g( X, (( φw) λ) { η( X) η( g( X, (( φ λ) { η( X) η( W) g ( X, W), ( Xλ) Φ( Z, W)= (( φw) λ) { η( X) η( g( X,.

In a 3-dimensional manifold M *, he funcion λ is consan if and only if φx λ fo all X. i
3 YOSHIO AGAOKA, BYUNG HAK KIM AND JIN HYUK CHOI If he Ricci cuvaue S on M is of he fom (3.8) SXY (, )= ag( XY, ) bη( X) η( Y), hen M is called an η-einsein space [1,6,7]. If M * is η-einsein, hen we have (3.9) 3a b = and (3.10) a b = 4λ by use of (.1), (3.) and (3.8). Hence we ge a = λ and b = 6λ. Theefoe he Ricci cuvaue S becomes (3.11) = ( ) SXY, λ g XY, 6λ η X η Y. If we pu Y = ξ in (3.11), hen we ge (3.1) = ( 6 ) φx λ λ η X fom (.5) and (3.11). If we se X = ξ in (3.1), hen i gives (3.13) =, 6λ ha is (3.14) ( φx) λ = 0 and ha (3.15) (, )= λ g( XY, ) SXY fom (3.11). We see ha λ is consan fom Lemma and (3.14). Since 3-dimensional Einsein space is a space of consan cuvaue, we obain he following heoem by using Lemma, (3.14) and (3.15). Theoem 3. Le M * be a 3-dimensional η-einsein manifold. Then M * is a space of consan cuvaue. Moeove M * is eihe Sasaian o cosymplecic manifold. In case λ = 0, since M * is a space of consan cuvaue, we have = 0 and hence RXYZ (, ) = 0, ha is M * is fla. On he ohe hand, E. M. Mosal obained he following esul (cf. [7]). Theoem 4. Le M be a complee and simply conneced Sasaian manifold. If M is Einsein and of posiive cuvaue, hen i is isomeic o he uni sphee. If λ is non-zeo consan, hen M * is Sasaian. Theefoe his fac and Theoems 3 and 4 educe
