Abstract

We establish the concept of r-almost Yamabe soliton immersed into a Riemannian manifold, which extends in a natural way the notion of almost Yamabe solitons introduced by Barbosa and Ribeiro in [3]. In this setting, under suitable hypothesis on the potential and soliton functions, we prove nonexistence and characterization results. Moreover, some examples of these new geometric objects are presented.
