Abstract:

In the present paper, we characterize $(k,\mu )’$ and generalized $(k,\mu )’$-almost Kenmotsu manifolds admitting the conformal Ricci soliton. It is also shown that a $(k,\mu )’$-almost Kenmotsu manifold $M^{2n+1}$ does not admit conformal gradient Ricci soliton $(g,V,\lambda )$ with $V$ collinear with the characteristic vector field $\xi$. Finally an illustrative example is presented.
