Warped Product Bi-slant Immersions in Kaehler Manifolds

Abstract

A submanifold M of an almost Hermitian manifold \((\widetilde{M},g,J)\) is called slant, if for each point \(p\in M\) and \(0\ne X\in T_p M\), the angle between JX and \(T_p M\) is constant (see Chen in Bull Aust Math Soc 41:135–147, 1990). Later, Carriazo (in: Proceedings of the ICRAMS 2000, Kharagpur, 2000) defined the notion of bi-slant immersions as an extension of slant immersions. In this paper, we study warped product bi-slant submanifolds in Kaehler manifolds and provide some examples of warped product bi-slant submanifolds in some complex Euclidean spaces. Our main theorem states that every warped product bi-slant submanifold in a Kaehler manifold is either a Riemannian product or a warped product hemi-slant submanifold.
