An optimized Chen first inequality for semi-slant submanifolds in Lorentz Kenmotsu space forms

Abstract

In this paper, we present necessary and sufficient conditions for a Lorentz contact manifold to be a Lorentz Kenmotsu manifold. Moreover, we obtain the optimal Chen first inequality for semi-slant submanifolds in Lorentz Kenmotsu space forms. Furthermore, the equality case of Chen inequality has been discussed.
