Geometric classification of warped product submanifolds of nearly Kaehler manifolds with a slant fiber

Abstract

There are two types of warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], in a nearly Kaehler manifold. We derive an optimization for an extrinsic invariant, the squared norm of second fundamental form, on a nontrivial warped product pseudo-slant submanifold [Formula: see text] in a nearly Kaehler manifold in terms of a warping function and a slant angle when the fiber [Formula: see text] is a slant submanifold. Moreover, the equality is verified for depending on what [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] are, and also we show that if the equality holds, then [Formula: see text] is a simply Riemannian product. As applications, we prove that the warped product pseudo-slant submanifold has the finite Kinetic energy if and only if [Formula: see text] is a totally real warped product submanifold.
