η-*-Ricci solitons and paracontact geometry

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