The main goal of this paper is to study the properties of generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetimes and the generalized Ricci recurrent (generalized Robertson–Walker (GRW)) spacetimes. It is proven that if the generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetimes satisfy the Einstein’s field equations without cosmological constant, then the isotropic pressure and the energy density of the perfect fluid spacetime are invariant along the velocity vector field of the perfect fluid spacetime. In this series, we show that a generalized Ricci recurrent perfect fluid spacetime satisfying the Einstein’s field equations without cosmological constant is either Ricci recurrent or Ricci symmetric. An [Formula: see text]-dimensional compact generalized Ricci recurrent GRW spacetime with almost Ricci soliton is geodesically complete, provided the soliton vector field of almost Ricci soliton is timelike. Also, we prove that a (GR)n GRW spacetime is Einstein. The properties of (GR)n GRW spacetimes equipped with almost Ricci soliton are studied.
