Warped product submanifolds of Lorentzian paracosymplectic manifolds

Abstract

In this paper we study the warped product submanifolds of a Lorentzian paracosymplectic manifold and obtain some nonexistence results. We show that a warped product semi-invariant submanifold in the form M = M × f M ⊥ of a Lorentzian paracosymplectic manifold such that the characteristic vector field is normal to M is a usual Riemannian product manifold where totally geodesic and totally umbilical submanifolds of warped product are invariant and anti-invariant, respectively. We prove that the distributions involved in the definition of a warped product semi-invariant submanifold are always integrable. A necessary and sufficient condition for a semi-invariant submanifold of a Lorentzian paracosymplectic manifold to be warped product semi-invariant submanifold is obtained. We also investigate the existence and nonexistence of warped product semi-slant and warped product anti-slant submanifolds in a Lorentzian paracosymplectic manifold.Mathematics Subject Classification 53B25 · 53C15 · 53C50
