First Chen Inequality for CR-Warped Product Submanifolds of a Complex Space Form and Applications

In this paper, the first Chen inequality is proved for CR-warped product submanifolds in complex space forms. This inequality involves intrinsic invariants (a leaf-wise $δ$-invariant and the sectional curvature) controlled by an extrinsic one (the mean curvature vector), which provides an answer to Problem [1]. We carefully distinguish the leaf-wise $δ$-invariant of a factor (used in the bound) from the intrinsic Chen invariant of the same factor, the two being related, on the totally real factor, by the Bishop--O'Neill formula. The bound is sharp and is uniform in the sign of the holomorphic sectional curvature $c$. As a geometric application, we derive necessary conditions for the immersed CR-warped product submanifold to be minimal in a complex space form, providing a partial answer to a well-known problem proposed by S.S. Chern (Problem [2]). For further research directions, we address a couple of open problems (Problem [3]} and Problem [4]).

General inequalities and new shape operator inequality for contact CR-warped product submanifolds in cosymplectic space form

We establish two main inequalities; one for the norm of the second fundamental form and the other for the matrix of the shape operator. The results obtained are for cosymplectic manifolds and, for these, we show that the contact warped product submanifolds naturally possess a geometric property; namely $\mathcal{D}_1$-minimality which, by means of the Gauss equation, allows us to obtain an optimal general inequality. For sake of generalization, we state our hypotheses for nearly cosymplectic manifolds, then we obtain them as particular cases for cosymplectic manifolds. For the other part of the paper, we derived some inequalities and applied them to construct and introduce a shape operator inequality for cosimpleptic manifolds involving the harmonic series. As further research directions, we have addressed a couple of open problems arose naturally during this work and which depend on its results.

First Chen Inequality for General Warped Product Submanifolds of a Riemannian Space Form and Applications

In this paper, the first Chen inequality is proved for general warped product submanifolds in Riemannian space forms, this inequality involves intrinsic invariants ($δ$-invariant and sectional curvature) controlled by an extrinsic one (the mean curvature vector), which provides an answer for Problem 1. As a geometric application, this inequality is applied to derive a necessary condition for the immersed submanifold to be minimal in Riemannian space forms, which presents a partial answer for the well-known problem proposed by S.S. Chern, Problem 2. For further research directions, we address a couple of open problems; namely Problem 3 and Problem 4.

Existence and Nonexistence of Warped Product Submanifolds of Almost Contact Manifolds

This paper has two goals; the first is to generalize results for the existence and nonexistence of warped product submanifolds of almost contact manifolds, accordingly a self-contained reference of such submanifolds is offered to save efforts of potential research. Most of the results of this paper are general and decisive enough to generalize both discovered and not discovered results. Moreover, a discrete example of contact CR-warped product submanifold in Kenmotsu manifold is constructed. For further research direction, we addressed a couple of open problems arose from the results of this paper.

A General Inequality for Warped Product $CR$-Submanifolds of Kähler Manifolds

In this paper, warped product contact $CR$-submanifolds in Sasakian, Kenmotsu and cosymplectic manifolds are shown to possess a geometric property; namely $\mathcal{D}_T$-minimal. Taking benefit from this property, an optimal general inequality for warped product contact $CR$-submanifolds is established in both Sasakian and Kenmotsu manifolds by means of the Gauss equation, we leave cosyplectic because it is an easy structure. Moreover, a rich geometry appears when the necessity and sufficiency are proved and discussed in the equality case. Applying this general inequality, the inequalities obtained by Munteanu are derived as particular cases, whereas the inequality obtained in [1] is corrected. Up to now, the method used by Chen and Munteanu can not extended for general ambient manifolds, this is because many limitations in using Codazzi equation. Hence, Our method depends on the Gauss equation. The inequality is constructed to involve an intrinsic invariant (scalar curvature) controlled by an extrinsic one (the second fundamental form), which provides an answer for Problem [1]. As further research directions, we have addressed a couple of open problems arose naturally during this work and depending on its results.

A geometric inequality for warped product semi-slant submanifolds of nearly cosymplectic manifolds

Recently, we have shown that there do not exist the warped product semi-slant submanifolds of cosymplectic manifolds [10]. As nearly cosymplectic structure generalizes cosymplectic ones same as nearly Kaehler generalizes Kaehler structure in almost Hermitian setting. It is interesting that the warped product semi-slant submanifolds exist in nearly cosymplectic case while in case of cosymplectic do not exist. In the beginning, we prove some preparatory results and finally we obtain an inequality such as $\|h\|^2 \geq 4q\csc^2θ\{1+\frac{1}{9}\cos^2θ\}\|\nabla \ln f\|^2$ in terms of intrinsic and extrinsic invariants. The equality case is also considered.

Generalized inequalities on warped product submanifolds in nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds

In this paper, we study warped product submanifolds of nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds. The non-existence of the warped product semi-slant submanifolds of the type $N_θ\times{_{f}N_T}$ is shown, whereas some characterization and new geometric obstructions are obtained for the warped products of the type $N_T\times{_{f}N_θ}$. We establish two general inequalities for the squared norm of the second fundamental form. The first inequality generalizes derived inequalities for some contact metric manifolds [16, 18, 19, 24], while by a new technique, the second inequality is constructed to express the relation between extrinsic invariant (second fundamental form) and intrinsic invariant (scalar curvatures). The equality cases are also discussed.
