In this article, we consider statistical submanifolds of Kenmotsu statistical manifolds of constant ϕ-sectional curvature. For such submanifold, we investigate curvature properties. We establish some inequalities involving the normalized δ-Casorati curvatures (extrinsic invariants) and the scalar curvature (intrinsic invariant). Moreover, we prove that the equality cases of the inequalities hold if and only if the imbedding curvature tensors h and h∗ of the submanifold (associated with the dual connections) satisfy h=−h∗, i.e., the submanifold is totally geodesic with respect to the Levi–Civita connection.

Abstract. The production function is one of the key concepts of mainstream neoclassical theories in economics. The study of the shape and properties of the production possibility frontier is a subject of great interest in economic analysis. In this respect, Cobb-Douglas and CES production functions with flat graph hypersurfaces in Euclidean spaces are first studied in [20,21]. Later, more general studies of production models were given in [5]- [9] and [11,13,22]. On the other hand, from visual-physical experiences [16,17,18], the second and third authors proposed in [15] to study production models via isotropic geometry as well. The purpose of this paper is thus to investigate important production models via isotropic geometry.

In this paper it is shown that all Wintgen ideal submanifolds in ambient real space forms are Chen submanifolds. It is also shown that the Wintgen ideal submanifolds of dimension $ >3 $ in real space forms do intrinsically enjoy some curvature symmetries in the sense of Deszcz of their Riemann--Christoffel curvature tensor, of their Ricci curvature tensor and of their Weyl conformal curvature tensor.
