Non existence of totally contact umbilical GCR-lightlike submanifolds of indefinite cosymplectic manifolds (Q353035): Difference between revisions

An indefinite cosymplectic manifold is an almost contact manifold \((\phi,\eta,\xi)\), together with a compatible indefinite metric \(g\), such that \(\phi\) and \(\xi\) are parallel. The authors consider a special class of light-like submanifolds (i.e., submanifolds on whose tangent bundle the metric induced by the ambient space is degenerate) of indefinite cosymplectic manifolds, namely, generalized Cauchy-Riemann light-like submanifolds. They provide an explicit example of such submanifolds in the pseudo-Euclidean space \(\mathbb R^{13}_{4}\), and prove that the only totally umbilical examples are the totally contact geodesic ones.
