Abstract

The object of the present paper is to study {ıt weakly conformally symmetricmanifolds}. Among others it is shown that an Einstein weakly conformallysymmetric manifold reduces to a weakly symmetric manifold. Also several examplesof weakly conformally symmetric manifolds with non-vanishing scalar curvaturehave been obtained.
