In this note, the generalized Lorentzian Sasakian-space-form M12n+1(f1,f2,f3) satisfying certain constraints on the M-projective curvature tensor W* is considered. Here, we characterize the structure M12n+1(f1,f2,f3) when it is, respectively, M-projectively flat, M-projectively semisymmetric, M-projectively pseudosymmetric, and φ−M-projectively semisymmetric. Moreover, M12n+1(f1,f2,f3) satisfies the conditions W*(ζ,V1)·S=0, W*(ζ,V1)·R=0 and W*(ζ,V1)·W*=0 are also examined. Finally, illustrative examples are given for obtained results.
... It has been noted that the class of bi-warped product submanifolds is a generalization of several classes, such as CR-warped products, warped product semi-slant submanifolds, and warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds. On the other hand, as a generalization of nearly cosymplectic, nearly Sasakian [13], nearly Kenmotsu [8,14], nearly α-Sasakian, and nearly β-Kenmotsu manifolds, nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds have been studied on a large scale; see [15][16][17][18][19]. Therefore, our objective was to remove the gap in the nearly trans-Sasakian manifold literature, as they are an interesting structure of the almost contact manifolds that have generalized many others structures. ...

In the present work, we consider two types of bi-warped product submanifolds, M=MT×f1M⊥×f2Mϕ and M=Mϕ×f1MT×f2M⊥, in nearly trans-Sasakian manifolds and construct inequalities for the squared norm of the second fundamental form. The main results here are a generalization of several previous results. We also design some applications, in view of mathematical physics, and obtain relations between the second fundamental form and the Dirichlet energy. The relationship between the eigenvalues and the second fundamental form is also established.

In this paper, we investigate the Lorentzian generalized Sasakian-space-form. We give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lorentzian generalized Sasakian-space-form to be projectively flat, conformally flat, conharmonically flat, and Ricci semisymmetric and their relationship between each other. As the application of our theorems, we study the Ricci almost soliton on conformally flat Lorentzian generalized Sasakian-space-form.

The object of this paper is to study symmetric properties of Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-form with respect to generalized Tanaka–Webster connection. We studied semisymmetry and Ricci semisymmetry of Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-form with respect to generalized Tanaka–Webster connection. Further we obtain results for Ricci pseudosymmetric and Ricci-generalized pseudosymmetric Sasakian generalized Sasakian-space-form.

We study the geometry of almost contact pseudo-metric manifolds in terms of tensor fields $$h:=\frac{1}{2}\pounds _\xi \varphi$$ and $$\ell := R(\cdot ,\xi )\xi$$, emphasizing analogies and differences with respect to the contact metric case. Certain identities involving $$\xi$$-sectional curvatures are obtained. We establish necessary and sufficient condition for a nondegenerate almost CR structure $$(\mathcal {H}(M), J, \theta )$$ corresponding to almost contact pseudo-metric manifold M to be CR manifold. Finally, we prove that a contact pseudo-metric manifold $$(M, \varphi ,\xi ,\eta ,g)$$ is Sasakian pseudo-metric if and only if the corresponding nondegenerate almost CR structure $$(\mathcal {H}(M), J)$$ is integrable and J is parallel along $$\xi$$ with respect to the Bott partial connection.

(Miskolc Mathematical Notes, Vol. 20, No. 2, pp. 1083-1099, (2019)) In this paper, a systematic study of Kenmotsu pseudo-metric manifolds are introduced. After studying the properties of this manifolds, we provide necessary and sufficient condition for Kenmotsu pseudo-metric manifold to have constant $\varphi$-sectional curvature, and prove the structure theorem for $\xi$-conformally flat and $\varphi$-conformally flat Kenmotsu pseudo-metric manifolds. Next, we consider Ricci solitons on this manifolds. In particular, we prove that an $\eta$-Einstein Kenmotsu pseudo-metric manifold of dimension higher than 3 admitting a Ricci soliton is Einstein, and a Kenmotsu pseudo-metric 3-manifold admitting a Ricci soliton is of constant curvature $-\varepsilon$.

In this paper, the projective curvature tensor field of a generalized indefinite Sasakian space form is investigated. Some results dealing with projectively semi-symmetric and [Formula: see text]-projectively semi-symmetric generalized indefinite Sasakian space forms are obtained. Furthermore, biharmonic Legendre Frenet curves are discussed on these manifolds.

The purpose of this paper is to study the almost contact pseudo-metric manifolds of dimension three which are normal. We derive certain necessary and sufficient conditions for an almost contact pseudo-metric manifold to be normal. We prove that in a normal almost contact pseudo-metric 3-manifold M of constant curvature k the function $$\beta$$ is harmonic, and if $$\beta =0$$ on M, then the function $$\alpha$$ is harmonic. Furthermore we give the necessary and sufficient condition for normal almost contact pseudo-metric 3-manifold to be $$\beta$$-Sasakian pseudo-metric manifold. Finally, we study the class of symmetric parallel (0, 2)-tensor field and its consequences.

We introduce the concept of ()-almost paracontact manifolds, and in particular, of ()-para-Sasakian manifolds. Several examples are presented. Some typical identities for curvature tensor and Ricci tensor of ()-para Sasakian manifolds are obtained. We prove that if a semi-Riemannian manifold is one of flat, proper recurrent or proper Ricci-recurrent, then it cannot admit an ()-para Sasakian structure. We show that, for an ()-para Sasakian manifold, the conditions of being symmetric, semi-symmetric, or of constant sectional curvature are all identical. It is shown that a symmetric spacelike (resp., timelike) ()-para Sasakian manifold is locally isometric to a pseudohyperbolic space (resp., pseudosphere ). At last, it is proved that for an ()-para Sasakian manifold the conditions of being Ricci-semi-symmetric, Ricci-symmetric, and Einstein are all identical.

Generalized Sasakian-space-forms are introduced and studied. Many examples of these manifolds are presented, by using some different geometric techniques such as Riemannian submersions, warped products or conformal and related transformations.

We first prove some results on invariant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. Then, we introduce a general notion of contact Cauchy-Riemann (CR) lightlike submanifolds and study the geometry of leaves of their distributions. We also study a class, namely, contact screen Cauchy-Riemann (SCR) lightlike submanifolds which include invariant and screen real subcases. Finally, we prove characterization theorems on the existence of contact SCR, screen real, invariant, and contact CR minimal lightlike submanifolds.

A new class of contact manifolds (carring a global non-vanishing timelike vector field) is introduced to establish a relation between spacetime manifolds and contact structures. We show that odd dimensional strongly causal (in particular, globally hyperbolic) spacetimes can carry a regular contact structure. As examples, we present a causal spacetime with a non regular contact structure and a physical model [GÃƒÂ¶del Universe] of Homogeneous contact manifold. Finally, we construct a model of 4-dimensional spacetime of general relativity as a contact CR-submanifold.

If the scalar normal curvature of a spacelike maximal surface in a 5-dimensional normal contact Lorentzian manifold with constant φ-sectional curvature is constant, then the surface is totally geodesic or nonpositively curved.

A complete decomposition of the space of curvature tensors over a Hermitian vector space into irreducible factors under the action of the unitary group is given. The dimensions of the factors, the projections, their norms and the quadratic invariants of a curvature tensor are determined. Several applications for almost Hermitian manifolds are given. Conformal invariants are considered and a general Bochner curvature tensor is introduced and shown to be a conformal invariant. Finally curvature tensors on four-dimensional manifolds are studied in detail.
