In the present article, we have investigated pointwise pseudo-slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds and have sought conditions under which these submanifolds are warped products. To this end first, it is shown that these submanifolds can not be expressed as non-trivial doubly warped product submanifolds. However, as there exist non-trivial (single) warped product submanifolds of a Kenmotsu manifold, we have worked out characterizations in terms of a canonical structure T and the shape operator under which a pointwise pseudo slant submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold reduces to a warped product submanifold.
Abstract. Many differential geometric properties of a submanifold of a Kaehler manifold are conceived via canonical structure tensors T and F on the submanifold. For instance, a CR-submanifold of a Kaehler manifold is a CR-product if and only if T is parallel on the submanifold (c.f.[2]). Warped product submanifolds are generalized version of CR-product submanifolds. Therefore, it is natural to see how the non-triviality of the covariant derivatives of T and F gives rise to warped product submanifolds. In the present article, we have worked out characterizations in terms of T and F under which a contact CR-submanifold of a Kenmotsu manifold reduces to a warped product submanifold.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
