In this paper, we study radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite para-Sasakian manifolds giving some non-trivial examples of these submanifolds. Integrability conditions of distributions D and RadTM on radical transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen slant radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite pa...

Warped product CR-submanifolds in Kählerian manifolds were intensively studied only since 2001 after the impulse given by B.Y. Chen in [2], [3]. Immediately after, another line of research, similar to that concerning Sasakian geometry as the odd dimensional version of Kählerian geometry, was developed, namely warped product contact CR-submanifolds in Sasakian manifolds (cf. [6], [7]). In this n...

A review of the geometry of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds shows that generalized Sasakian manifolds and η-Einstein manifolds are deeply interrelated. For example, it is known that a 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold is η-Einstein. In this paper, we discuss the relationships between several special classes of 3-dimensional contact metric manifolds which are generalizations of 3-dimensiona...

Many authors have studied Ricci solitons and their analogs within the framework of (almost) contact geometry. In this article, we thoroughly study $$(m,\rho )$$ -quasi-Einstein structure on a metric manifold. First, prove that if K-contact or Sasakian manifold $$M^{2n+1}$$ admits closed structure, then it is an Einstein constant scalar curvature $$2n(2n+1)$$ , for particular case—a non-Sasak...

The object of the present paper is to study 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifolds admitting a W2-curvature tensor. Trans-Sasakian manifolds satisfying the curvature condition S(X, ξ).R = 0 is also considered.
