On some basic curvature invariants of screen homothetic lightlike hypersurfaces in a GRW spacetime

Abstract

This study is focused on the investigation of lightlike hypersurfaces of a generalized Robertson-Walker (GRW) spacetime. Recently, Poyraz (2022) [51,52] established some basic inequalities involving various curvature invariants of screen homothetic lightlike hypersurfaces of GRW spacetimes, like k-scalar curvature and k-Ricci curvature. In this work, we consider other basic curvature invariants, namely the scalar curvature and δ-Casorati curvatures, and derive new inequalities for such hypersurfaces of a GRW spacetime. We also find the conditions for which the equality cases in these inequalities hold and give some applications in Lorentzian geometry.
