TL;DR
The paper investigates $\ast$-Ricci-Bourguignon solitons on Kenmotsu manifolds, establishing when such solitons compress, balance, or enlarge via the parameter $\Omega$ and deriving relations involving the star-curvature $r^*$ and the star-Ricci tensor $\mathbb{S}^*$. It shows that a Kenmotsu manifold admitting a $\ast$-RB soliton often reduces to an $\eta$-RB soliton with explicit constants, and it derives gradient and conformal Killing vector field implications, including a key Laplacian equation $\Delta f=\Omega(2n+1)+[\omega(2n+1)-1](r+4n^2)$. Curvature constraints such as $\mathcal{W}_2$-flatness and $Q$-flatness are analyzed, yielding explicit expressions for $\Omega$ in terms of invariants like $\psi$ and $r$, and criteria for soliton behavior. A concrete $5$-dimensional example verifies the existence of a $\ast$-RB soliton, and the work discusses potential physical applications in areas like string theory and general relativity where soliton structures are relevant.
Abstract
In this paper, we have found some features of $\ast$- Ricci Bourguignon Soliton on Kenmotsu manifold. We estimated the conditions for $\ast$-Ricci Bourguignon on Kenmotsu manifold to be compressing, balancing or enlarging accordingly. We have found some curvature properties of Kenmotsu manifold admitting $\ast$-Ricci Bourguignon Soliton. Additionally, we have featured $\ast$-Ricci Bourguignon on Kenmotsu manifold with torse-forming vector field. Finally, we proved an example of $5$-dimensional Kenmotsu manifold on $\ast$-Ricci Bourguignon Soliton.
