Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study necessary conditions for the existence of al-most pseudo symmetric and almost pseudo Ricci symmetric Sasakian manifolds admitting a new connection, named general connection. It is worthy to mention that such connec-tion reduces to quarter-symmetric connection, generalized Tanaka-Webster connection, Zamkovoy connection and Schouten-van Kampen connection as particular cases.
