On a class of contact Riemannian manifolds.
In the present paper we investigate a contact metric manifold satisfying (C) for any -geodesic , where is the Tanaka connection. We classify the 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds satisfying (C) for any -geodesic . Also, we prove a structure theorem for a contact metric manifold with belonging to the -nullity distribution and satisfying (C) for any -geodesic .
A trans-Sasakian 3-manifold is pseudo-symmetric if and only if it is η-Einstein. In particular, a quasi-Sasakian 3-manifold is pseudo-symmetric if and only if it is a coKähler manifold or a homothetic Sasakian manifold. Some examples of non-Sasakian pseudo-symmetric contact 3-manifolds are exhibited.
