Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to study 3-dimensional paraSasakian manifold and conformally flat K-paracontact manifold. Moreover, we show that in a K-paracontact manifold the conditions Einstein, conformally flat, semi-symmetric and Ricci semi-symmetric are all equivalent. Finally, compact regular 3-dimensional paraSasakian and conformally flat K-paracontact manifolds are studied.
