We provide properties of almost η-Ricci and almost η-Yamabe solitons on submanifolds isometrically immersed into a Riemannian manifold M , g whose potential vector field is the tangential component of a torse-forming vector field on M , treating also the case of a minimal or pseudo quasi-umbilical hypersurface. Moreover, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for an orientable hypersurface of the unit sphere to be an almost η-Ricci or an almost η-Yamabe soliton in terms of the second fundamental tensor field.
PreliminariesLet g be a (pseudo)-Riemannian metric on an n-dimensional smooth manifold M, Ric its Ricci curvature tensor field, scal its scalar curvature, V a vector field on M, £ V the Lie derivative in the direction of V and η a 1-form on M.If there exist two smooth functions λ and µ on M such thatthen (M, g) is said to be an almost η-Ricci soliton [4] and we denote it by (V, λ, µ).
