Some results on semi-invariant submanifolds of a certain class of almost contact manifolds (Q1178974)

Let \(\overline M\) be a Kenmotsu manifold, that is a special almost contact metric manifold, say with structure tensors \((\varphi,\xi,\eta,g)\); and assume that \(\overline M\) has constant \(\varphi\)-sectional curvature \(C\). The paper deals with submanifolds of \(\overline M\), whose tangent bundle admits an orthogonal splitting \(D\oplus D^ \perp\oplus\mathbb{R}\xi\), where the subbundle \(D\) resp. \(D^ \perp\) is invariant resp. antiinvariant with respect to \(\varphi\), \(D\) is integrable and the second fundamental form \(h\) satisfies \(h(D,D^ \perp)=0\). There are derived sufficient conditions for \(D=0\) or \(D^ \perp=0\). The crucial fact is formula (2.16) which can be improved by \[ \forall X\in\Gamma(D),\quad Z\in\Gamma(D^ \perp):\qquad 4\cdot A^ 2_{QZ}X=-(1+C)\cdot\| QZ\|^ 2\cdot X. \]
