Warped product submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds with slant fiber

Abstract

Recently, wehave discussed the warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds of the typeM?xfM? of Kenmotsu manifolds. In this paper, we study other type of warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds by reversing these two factors in Kenmotsu manifolds. The existence of such warped product immersions is proved by a characterization. Also, we provide an example of warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds. Finally, we establish a sharp estimation such as ||h||2?2pcos2?(||??(ln f)||2-1) for the squared norm of the second fundamental form khk2, in terms of the warping function f, where ??(ln f) is the gradient vector of the function ln f. The equality case is also discussed.
