Abstract

The target of this paper is to study $N(k)$-contact metric manifolds with some types of conformal vector fields like $\phi$-holomorphic planar conformal vector fields and Ricci biconformal vector fields. We also characterize $N(k)$-contact metric manifolds allowing conformal Ricci almost soliton. Obtained results are supported by examples.
