Abstract
The aim of the present paper is to classify almost CoKähler manifolds satisfying Miao-Tam equation. We find the expression of the curvature tensor in an almost CoKähler manifold of dimension greater than 3 with \(\xi \) belonging to the \((k, \mu )\)-nullity distribution and \(k<0\). We prove that gradient of \(\lambda \) is pointwise collinear with \(\xi \). As a consequence, we obtain that the potential function \(\lambda \) is constant. Finally, we show that the solution of the Miao-Tam equation on almost CoKähler manifolds of dimension greater than 3 with \(\xi \) belonging to the \((k, \mu )\)-nullity distribution and \(k<0\) is either trivial or Einstein.
