Almost Gradient Ricci Solitons on Static Spacetime
The aim of this paper is to study geometrical aspects of static spacetime admitting an almost gradient Ricci soliton. Among others, We first determine the conditions under which the base manifold of static spacetime possess an almost gradient Ricci soliton and we show that the almost gradient Ricci soliton become steady gradient Ricci soliton when static spacetime turns to a vacuum static spacetime. Next, we exhibit that an expanding almost gradient Ricci soliton on base manifold of non-compact and connected static spacetime satisfies shr$\ddot{o}$dinger's equation for a smooth function $f$. Also, we find the soliton constant under which the static perfect fluid spacetime with almost gradient Ricci soliton holds the null convergence condition and the strong energy condition. Further, we study the almost gradient Ricci soliton on base manifold of static perfect fluid spacetime with potential function as warping function and it is shown that the base manifold of a static perfect fluid spacetime with an almost gradient Ricci soliton is an Einstein manifold. Next, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition on soliton constant to obey timelike convergence condition. Further, we obtain some results for Ricci symmetric and weakly Ricci symmetric base manifold of static perfect fluid spacetime admitting gradient Ricci soliton. Finally, we find the nature of almost gradient Ricci soliton on $4$-dimensional half conformally flat base manifold of static perfect fluid spacetime.
