In this paper, we study geodesic contact CR-lightlike submanifolds and geodesic screen CR-lightlike (SCR) submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifolds. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for totally geodesic, mixed geodesic, D -geodesic and -geodesic contact CR-lightlike submanifolds and SCR submanifolds are obtained. D

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 ...

The geometry of CR-submanifolds of Kaehler manifolds was initiated by Bejancu 1 and has been developed by 2–5 and others. They studied the geometry of CR-submanifolds with positive definite metric. Thus, this geometry may not be applicable to the other branches of mathematics and physics, where the metric is not necessarily definite. Moreover, because of growing importance of lightlike submanif...

In this paper, we study the geometry of half lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Sasakian manifold. There are several different types of half lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Sasakian manifold according to the form of its structure vector field. We study two types of them here: tangential and ascreen half lightlike submanifolds.

We study half lightlike submanifold M of an indefinite transSasakian manifold such that its structure vector field is tangent to M . First we study the general theory for such half lightlike submanifolds. Next we prove some characterization theorems for half lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite generalized Sasakian space form.

In this article we investigate the geometry of CR-lightlike submanifolds in an indefinite Kähler product manifold. In particular, we obtain the necessary and sufficient conditions for a CR-lightlike submanifold in an indefinite Kähler product manifold to be either CR-lightlike product, or D-geodesic, or D′-geodesic. We also study totally umbilical and curvature-invariant CR-lightlike submanifol...
