Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study cyclic Ricci-recurrent spaces. Some basic geometric properties of such a space are obtained. Among others we study conformally symmetric cyclic Ricci-recurrent spaces. Also we study decomposibility and conformal deformation of cyclic Ricci-recurrent spaces. Finally, the existence of such space is ensured by an interesting example.
