Abstract

In 1999, Chen established a sharp relationship between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for a submanifold in a Riemannian space form with arbitrary codimension. Similar problems for submanifolds in complex space forms were studied by Matsumoto et al. In this paper, we obtain sharp relationships between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for submanifolds in Kenmotsu space forms.

Summary

RICCI CURVATURE OF SUBMANIFOLDS IN KENMOTSU SPACE FORMS

In 1999, Chen established a sharp relationship between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for a submanifold in a Riemannian space form with arbitrary codimension. (b) totally real submanifolds, that is, J(TpM) ⊂ Tp⊥M, for all p ∈ M, where TpM (resp., Tp⊥M) is the tangent (resp., the normal) vector space of M at p. Such submanifolds were defined and studied by Chen and Ogiue [4]. A (2m+1)-dimensional Riemannian manifold (M , g) is said to be a Kenmotsu manifold if it admits an endomorphism φ of its tangent bundle T M , a vector field ξ, and a 1-form η, which satisfy: φ2 = − Id +η ⊗ ξ, η(ξ) = 1, φξ = 0, η ◦ φ = 0, g(φX, φY ) = g(X, Y ) − η(X)η(Y ), η(X) = g(X, ξ),. P is an endomorphism of tangent bundle T M and F is a normal bundle valued 1-form on T M
