Abstract

We completely describe paracontact metric three-manifolds whose Reeb vector field satisfies the Ricci soliton equation. While contact Riemannian (or Lorentzian) Ricci solitons are necessarily trivial, that is, K-contact and Einstein, the paracontact metric case allows nontrivial examples. Both homogeneous and inhomogeneous nontrivial three-dimensional examples are explicitly described. Finally, we correct the main result in [1], concerning three-dimensional normal paracontact Ricci solitons
