On the $h$-Almost Yamabe Soliton

Abstract

We introduce the concept $h$-almost Yamabe soliton which extends naturally the almost Yamabe soliton by Barbosa-Ribeiro and obtain some rigidity results concerning $h$-almost Yamabe solitons. Some condition for a compact $h$-almost Yamabe soliton to be a gradient soliton is also obtained. Finally, we give some characterizations for a special class of gradient $h$-almost Yamabe solitons.
