      Summary: We study characteristic \(r\)-light-like submanifolds \(M\) tangent to the characteristic vector fields in an indefinite metric \(\mathcal S\)-manifold, and we also discuss the existence of characteristic light-like submanifolds of an indefinite \(\mathcal S\)-space form under suitable hypotheses: (1) \(M\) is totally umbilical or (2) its screen distribution \(S(TM)\) is totally umbilical in \(M\).
