A Sasakian space [1]Mn (n = 2m + 1) is a Riemannian n-space with a positive definite metric tensor gij and a unit Killing vector field η which satisfies where the comma denotes covariant differentiation with respect to the metic tensor. In a recent paper [2] M. C. Chaki and A. N. Roy Chowdhury studied conformally recurrent spaces of second order, or briefly conformally 2-recurrent spaces, that is, non-flat Riemannian spaces Vn (n > 3) defined by where is the conformal curvature tensor: and alm is a tensor not identically zero.
