After giving preliminaries and some definitions we have proved that in a nearly Kenmotsu manifold if the metric admits a Ricci soliton then the manifold is an n-Einstein manifold. In addition to these, we have showed that if a nearly Kenmotsu manifold admits a compact Ricci soliton, then the manifold is Einstein. Finally we have proved that if an n-Einstein nearly Kenmotsu manifold admits a gradient Ricci soliton, then the manifold reduces to an Einstein manifold under certain conditioneninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRicci solitonsNearly Kenmotsu ManifoldsConference Object
