REPRESENTATION OF THE LIE GROUP OF AUTOMORPHISMS OF AN ALMOST r-PARACONTACT RIEMANNIAN MANIFOLD OF P-SASAKIAN TYPE A. BUCKI Key words: Almost r-paracontact structures of P-Sasakian type, group of automorphisms, representation of Lie group. 1991 Math. Subject Classification: 53C15, 57S20, 20G05. Abstract: In this paper the examples of Lie groups and Lie algebras on an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold $M_n$ of P-Sasakian type are presented and their maximum dimensions are determined. It is proven that the set of all automorphisms of $M_n$ is a Lie group, and the example of an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold of P-Sasakian type with the group of automorphisms of the maximum dimension is constructed. Finally, some representation of the group of automorphisms of an almost r-paracontact Riemannian manifold of P-Sasakian type is presented.
