Abstract (VO)

The object of the present paper is to study almost pseudo-conformally symmetric Ricci-recurrent manifolds. The existence of almost pseudo-conformally symmetric Ricci-recurrent manifolds has been proved by an explicit example. Some geometric properties have been studied. Among others we prove that in such a manifold the vector field $\rho $ corresponding to the 1-form of recurrence is irrotational and the integral curves of the vector field $\rho $ are geodesic. We also study some global properties of such a manifold. Finally, we study almost pseudo-conformally symmetric Ricci-recurrent spacetime. We obtain the Segre' characteristic of such a spacetime.
