Biharmonic anti-invariant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms (Q880234)

The class of non-minimal biharmonic anti-invariant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms is investigated. A Sasakian space form is regarded as an odd dimensional analogue of a complex space form and is among the most important contact metric manifolds. Two main purposes are achieved in the paper. (1) The existence and uniqueness theorems of non-minimal biharmonic anti-invariant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms of low dimension are proved. (2) Stability conditions of non-minimal biharmonic anti-invariant submanifolds in Sasakian space forms of general dimension are pointed out.
