A lower bound for the Ricci curvature of submanifolds in generalized Sasakian space forms (Q2858022)

This paper is devoted to one of the most fundamental problems in submanifold theory: establishing a simple relationship between the main extrinsic invariants and intrinsic invariants of a submanifold. The authors consider submanifolds in generalized Sasakian space forms. They obtain inequalities between the squared mean curvature, the Ricci curvature, the Riemannian invariant \(\Theta_k\), the \(\delta_k\)-invariant and the scalar curvature of (\(n\geq 3\))-dimensional submanifolds normal to the structure vector field of generalized Sasakian space forms. The authors establish inequalities between squared mean curvature, the Ricci curvature and the scalar curvature of \((n\geq 3)\)-dimensional submanifolds tangent to the structure vector field of generalized Sasakian space forms.
