Abstract: In this paper we shall give necessary conditions for the compatibility of several $K$-contact structures with weak symmetry and weak Ricci-symmetry and weak Ricci-symmetry, provided they do not reduce to the common local symmetry, that is, they are proper. Thus weak symmetry and weak Ricci-symmetry are weaker than pseudosymmetry and pseudo Ricci-symmetry respectively.

Keywords: Weakly symmetric Riemannian manifold, K-contact manifold

Classification (MSC91): 53C15; 53C25
