New types of Kenmotsu manifold are defined which are named ??Q symmetric Kenmotsu manifold and ??Q recurrent Kenmotsu manifold. Various properties of such a 2m+1-dimensional Kenmotsu manifold are studied. A theorem is given which states that a three-dimensional locally ??Q recurrent and locally ??Q symmetric Kenmotsu manifold admitting Q tensor is a manifold of constant curvature. Some examples of locally ??Q symmetric Kenmotsu manifolds and Kenmotsu manifolds admitting Q tensor are provided.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/embargoedAccessKenmotsu ManifoldQ Tensor?-recurrent Manifold?-symmetric ManifoldArticle176---10.1016/j.geomphys.2022.104498Q1WOS:000794865700006Q1
