Lightlike Submanifolds of Indefinite Sasakian Manifolds

We first prove some results on invariant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. Then, we introduce a general notion of contact Cauchy-Riemann (CR) lightlike submanifolds and study the geometry of leaves of their distributions. We also study a class, namely, contact screen Cauchy-Ri...

Description
Summary:We first prove some results on invariant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. Then, we introduce a general notion of contact Cauchy-Riemann (CR) lightlike submanifolds and study the geometry of leaves of their distributions. We also study a class, namely, contact screen Cauchy-Riemann (SCR) lightlike submanifolds which include invariant and screen real subcases. Finally, we prove characterization theorems on the existence of contact SCR, screen real, invariant, and contact CR minimal lightlike submanifolds.
