1. Introduction
The study of the geometry of the tangent bundle has been a topic of enduring fascination in the field of differential geometry, presenting distinctive challenges. The lift function facilitates extending differentiable structures from any manifold M to its tangent bundle. Yano and Ishihara [1] developed the theory of lifts of geometric structures and connections to tangent bundles. Researchers like Yano and Kobayashi [2], Tani [3], Pandey and Chaturvedi [4] and Khan [5–16] explored various connections and structures on different manifolds on the tangent bundles. In 2023, Kumar et al. [17, 18] studied the complete lifts of LP-Sasakian manifold endowed with quarter-symmetric non-metric connection (QSNMC) and Sasakian statistical manifolds endowed with semi-symmetric metric connection on the tangent bundle. Li et al. in Ref. [19] studied Ricci and gradient Ricci solitons of pseudo-Riemannian manifold associated with lift of Ricci quarter-symmetric metric connection (RQSMC) on the tangent bundle. Murat in Ref. [20] studied conformal Yamabe solitons on tangent bundles with respect to the complete lifts of a semi-symmetric metric connection and a projective semi-symmetric connection. Recently the same author Murat in Ref. [21] studied the Ricci solitons on tangent bundles with respect to the complete lift of a projective semi-symmetric connection. Motivated by their studies, we will investigate the complete lift of Ricci soliton on Sasakian manifold to tangent bundle with associated quarter-symmetric non-metric connection (QSNMC).
In a differentiable manifold M, we define T0M = ⋃p ∈ MT0pM as the tangent bundle, with T0pM being the tangent space at point p ∈ M and π: T0M → M is the natural bundle structure of T0M over M. For any coordinate system (Q, xh) in M, where (xh) is a local coordinate system in the neighborhood Q, (π−1(Q), xh, yh) is coordinate system in T0M, where (xh, yh) is an induced coordinate system in π−1(Q) from (xh) [1]. We define τ1 as a vector field, F0 as a (1,1) tensor field, f0 as a function, ω0 as a 1-form and as an affine connection in M, its vertical and complete lifts are denoted by subscripts v and c, respectively. The subsequent equations for complete and vertical lifts are established by [1, 22]
The idea of a Ricci soliton can be seen as a natural extension of Einstein manifolds. Ricci flow, initially introduced by Hamilton in Ref. [23] to establish a standard metric on a smooth manifold, has become a powerful tool in analyzing Riemannian manifolds, particularly those with positive curvature. It can be described as a differential equation governing how metrics on a Riemannian manifold evolve, expressed as . Essentially, a Ricci soliton is a form of Ricci flow that undergoes transformations solely through a one-parameter group of diffeomorphisms and scaling. Perelman in Refs. [24, 25] used Ricci flow to prove the Poincaré conjecture. A Ricci soliton (g, V, γ) on a Riemannian manifold (M(2n+1), g) is defined by the equation in Ref. [26] as:
where is the Lie derivative along V on M, denotes the Ricci tensor, and γ is a constant. Ricci solitons are classified as shrinking, steady, or expanding based on whether γ is less than zero, equal to zero or greater than zero respectively. Sharma in Ref. [27] extensively studied Ricci solitons in contact geometry, while Ghosh et al. in Ref. [28] explored gradient Ricci solitons on non-Sasakian (κ, μ)-contact manifolds. The term “Sasakian manifold” was coined in 1960 by Shigeo Sasaki in Ref. [29], and since then, many geometers have investigated the Ricci soliton of Sasakian manifolds, as can be seen in Refs. [26, 30–33]. Recently, Singh et al. in Ref. [26] examined the Ricci soliton on Sasakian manifolds with QSNMCs.

In section 5, we investigate the complete lifts of the Ricci soliton on Ricci-recurrent and Φ-recurrent Sasakian manifold with QSNMC on the tangent bundle. In the last section, we study the complete lift of Ricci solitons on Einstein semi-symmetric Sasakian manifold admitting QSNMC on the tangent bundle.
