Slant Riemannian Maps From An Almost Contact Manifold

Abstract

In the present paper, we introduce slant Riemannian maps from an almost contact manifold to Riemannian manifolds. We obtain the existence condition of slant Riemannian maps from an almost contact manifold to Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we find the necessary and sufficient condition for slant Riemannian map to be totally geodesic and investigate the harmonicity of slant Riemannian maps from Sasakian manifold to Riemannian manifolds. Finally, we obtain a decomposition theorem for the total manifolds and also provide some examples of such maps.
