      In [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris, Sér. A 288, 993--995 (1979; Zbl 0421.53003)], \textit{P. Wintgen} proved that if \(M\) is a surface in \(\mathbb{E}^{4}\), then \[ K\leq ||H||^2-|K^{\perp}|, \] where \(K\) is the Gaussian curvature, \(||H||^{2}\) is the mean curvature and \(K^{\perp}\) is the normal curvature. Later on, \textit{B. Rouxel} [``Sur une famille des A-surfaces d'un espace euclidien E4'', in: Österreichischer Mathematiker Kongress, Innsbruck, 1981, 185 (1981)] and \textit{I. V. Guadalupe} and \textit{L. Rodriguez} [Pac. J. Math. 106, 95--103 (1983; Zbl 0515.53044)] extended this inequality for a surface \(M\) in real space form \(\widetilde{M}^{2+m}\): \[ K\leq ||H||^2-|K^{\perp}|+c. \] In [Kragujevac J. Math. 26, 83--88 (2004; Zbl 1080.53052)], the author extended this further for totally real surfaces in \(n\)-dimensional complex space forms. In [Arch. Math., Brno 35, No. 2, 115--128 (1999; Zbl 1054.53075)] \textit{P. J. De Smet} et al. have proposed a conjecture for \(n\)-dimensional submanifolds in real space forms \(\widetilde{M}^{n+m}\) , known as the DDVV conjecture as below. DDVV conjecture: Let \(f: M^{n}\rightarrow \widetilde{M}^{n+m}(c)\) be an isometric immersion. Then \[ \rho \leq ||H||^{2}-\rho^{\perp}+c, \] where \(\rho=\frac{2\tau}{n(n-1)}\), \(\tau\) is the scalar curvature and \(\rho^{\perp}\) is the normalized normal scalar curvature. Several extension results have been obtained over the years and recently, the DDVV conjecture was finally proved true by \textit{Z. Lu} [J. Funct. Anal. 261, No. 5, 1284--1308 (2011; Zbl 1233.53008)] and also by \textit{Jianquan Ge} and \textit{ Zizhou Tang} [Pac. J. Math. 237, No. 1, 87--95 (2008; Zbl 1163.53038)]. In the reviewed paper, the author obtains the DDVV inequality for Legendrian submanifolds in Sasakain space forms. As an application, he obtains that any Wintgen ideal Legendre submanifold of a Sasakian space form is a Chen submanifold. Also, he provides the inequality for contact slant submanifolds in a Sasakian space form at the end.
