Abstract

The aim of this paper is to investigate locally ${\phi}-conformally$ symmetric almost Kenmotsu manifolds with its characteristic vector field ${\xi}$ belonging to some nullity distributions. Also, we give an example of a 5-dimensional almost Kenmotsu manifold such that ${\xi}$ belongs to the $(k,\;{\mu})^{\prime}$-nullity distribution and $h^{\prime}{\neq}0$.
