Abstract

A Yamabe soliton is considered on an almost-contact complex Riemannian manifold (also known as an almost-contact B-metric manifold), which is obtained by a contact conformal transformation of the Reeb vector field, its dual contact 1-form, the B-metric, and its associated B-metric. A case in which the potential is a torse-forming vector field of constant length on the vertical distribution determined by the Reeb vector field is studied. In this way, manifolds from one of the main classes of the studied manifolds are obtained. The same class contains the conformally equivalent manifolds of cosymplectic manifolds by the usual conformal transformation of the given B-metric. An explicit five-dimensional example of a Lie group is given, which is characterized in relation to the obtained results.
