TL;DR: In this paper, Chen-Ricci inequality and improved Chen Ricci inequality for curvature-like tensors were presented and applied to Lagrangian and Kaehlerian slant submanifolds of complex space forms and Sasakian space forms.
Abstract: We present Chen-Ricci inequality and improved Chen-Ricci inequality for curvature like tensors. Applying our improved Chen-Ricci inequality we study Lagrangian and Kaehlerian slant submanifolds of complex space forms and C-totally real submanifolds of Sasakian space forms.

TL;DR: In this article, certain basic inequalities between intrinsic and extrinsic invariants for a submanifold in a (�,µ)-contact space form are obtained, and some results for invariant sub-manifolds in a ε-contact space are obtained.

  • ... ≡ A e r , r = n+1,...,2m+1 are of forms given by (6) and (7). If κ = 1, the (κ,µ)-contact space form reduces to Sasakian space form M˜ (c); thus h = 0 and (2) becomes the equation in Theorem 7.14 of [1]. Therefore, Theorem 3.3 and Theorem 3.4 provide Sasakian versions as Theorem 3.2 of [6] and [2] respectively. Now, we recall Chen’s δ-invariant given by δ M(p) = τ(p) −(inf K)(p) = τ(p) −inf{K(π) | π...

  • ...bmanifold M of an almost contact metric manifold M˜ with the structure (ϕ,ξ,η,h,i) is called an invariant submanifold if ϕT pM ⊂ T pM. If M˜ is contact also, then ξ ∈ TM, σ(X,ξ) = 0 and M is minimal ([1]). On the other hand, we have the following Proposition 4.1 Every totally umbilical submanifold M of a contact metric manifold such that ξ ∈ TM is minimal and consequently totally geodesic. The proof ...

Then, α(π) given by α(π) = he1,Pe2i 2 is a real number in the closed unit interval [0,1], which is independent of the choice of the orthonormal basis {e1,e2}. Let ξ ∈ TM and put β(π) = (η(e1))2 +(η(e2))2, γ(π) = η(e1)2 hTe 2,e2 +η(e2)2 hTe 1,e1 −2η(e1)η(e2) hTe 1,e2 . Then, β(π) and γ (π...

  • ...cteristic examples of non-Sasakian (κ,µ)-contact metric manifolds are the tangent sphere bundles of Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvature not equal to one. For more details we refer to [1] and [7]. The sectional curvature K˜ (X,ϕX) of a plane section spanned by a unit vector X orthogonal to ξ is called a ϕ-sectional curvature. If the (κ,µ)-contact metric manifold M˜ has constant ϕ-sect...

TL;DR: In this article, a sub-Riemannian version of the Pansu sphere has been shown to be a critical point of the area under a volume constraint, and a second variation formula for admissible deformations possibly moving the singular set has been derived.
Abstract: Let $M$ be a complete Sasakian sub-Riemannian $3$-manifold of constant Webster scalar curvature $\kappa$. For any point $p\in M$ and any number $\lambda\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\lambda^2+\kappa>0$, we show existence of a $C^2$ spherical surface $\mathcal{S}_\lambda(p)$ immersed in $M$ with constant mean curvature $\lambda$. Our construction recovers in particular the description of Pansu spheres in the first Heisenberg group and the sub-Riemannian $3$-sphere. Then, we study variational properties of $\mathcal{S}_\lambda(p)$ related to the area functional. First, we obtain uniqueness results for the spheres $\mathcal{S}_\lambda(p)$ as critical points of the area under a volume constraint, thus providing sub-Riemannian counterparts to the theorems of Hopf and Alexandrov for CMC surfaces in Riemannian $3$-space forms. Second, we derive a second variation formula for admissible deformations possibly moving the singular set, and prove that $\mathcal{S}_\lambda(p)$ is a second order minimum of the area for those preserving volume. We finally give some applications of our results to the isoperimetric problem in sub-Riemannian $3$-space forms.

TL;DR: The main result in this article relates, under suitable hypotheses, the π-null Osserman, the null Osserman and the classical Osserman conditions to each other via semi-Riemannian submersions as projection maps of principal torus bundles arising from a Lorentzian S-manifold.
