On Schouten-van Kampen connection in Sasakian manifolds

Resumen

We study the Schouten-van Kampen connection associated to a Sasakian structure. With the help of the Schouten-van Kampen connection we characterize Sasakian manifolds and find certain curvature properties of this connection on Sasakian manifolds. Also we study Ricci solitons on a Sasakian manifold with respect to the Schouten-van Kampen connection. Finally, an illustrative example is given to verify some results.
