Pseudo-slant submanifolds of a Sasakian manifold (Q883222): Difference between revisions

Let \(\overline{M}\) be a Riemannian manifold equipped with an almost contact metric structure \((\phi,\xi,\eta,g)\). A submanifold \(M\) of \(\overline{M}\) is said to be pseudo-slant if the structure vector field \(\xi\) is tangent to \(M\) everywhere, and if there exist two subbundles \(D_1\) and \(D_2\) of the tangent bundle \(TM\) of \(M\) such that \(TM\) decomposes orthogonally into \(TM = D_1 \oplus D_2 \oplus {\mathbb R}\xi\), \(\phi D_1\) is a subbundle of the normal bundle of \(M\), and there exists a real number \(0 \leq \theta < \pi/2\) such that for each nonzero vector \(X \in D_2\) the angle between \(\phi X\) and \(D_2\) is equal to \(\theta\). The authors derive some equations for certain tensor fields and investigate the integrability of some distributions on pseudo-slant submanifolds for the special case that the almost contact metric structure is Sasakian.
