Abstract

In the present paper, we study nearly vacuum static equations on K-contact manifolds. Also, we investigate nearly vacuum static equations on \(\eta \)-Einstein K-contact manifolds and construct an example to verify the deduced results. Moreover, we apply nearly vacuum static equations on super quasi-Einstein spacetimes.
