  "abstract": "We investigate gradient ρ-Einstein solitons and quasi-Yamabe solitons on η-Einstein para-Kenmotsu manifolds, with particular emphasis on the Zamkovoy and Schouten–van Kampen connections. For gradient ρ-Einstein solitons, we derive a curvature identity and establish a rigidity alternative: either the scalar curvature is constant or the potential vector field is pointwise collinear with the Reeb vector field. The proof treats the possible zero set of the coefficient arising in the key pointwise identity. For quasi-Yamabe solitons with a Reeb-collinear potential vector field, we show that the scalar curvature associated with either adapted connection equals the soliton constant σ. The curvature calculations give r˜=r*=r+2n(2n+1), and hence r=σ−2n(2n+1) in this case. The coefficient h in V=hζ satisfies dh=μh2η for both connections. In particular, μ=0 makes h constant on each connected component and reduces the quasi-Yamabe soliton equation to the corresponding adapted Yamabe-type soliton equation. We also clarify the connection-dependent symmetric metric-deformation tensor and distinguish its vanishing from the classical Killing condition. These results describe the restrictions imposed by the para-Kenmotsu structure and the chosen adapted connection on the soliton equations.",
