η - * -Ricci solitons and paracontact geometry

In this paper, we classify η - * -Ricci solitons in paracontact geometry. In particular, we characterize (2n+1) -dimensional para-Kenmotsu manifolds having an η - * -Ricci soliton and 3-dimensional para-Kenmotsu manifolds admitting a gradient η - * -Ricci soliton. Next, we classify 3-dimensional para-Sasakian manifolds admitting η - * -Ricci soliton and gradient η - * -Ricci soliton. Finally, we construct examples to illustrate our results.
