Warped Product Submanifolds of Kaehler Manifolds with Pointwise Slant Fiber

Abstract

It was shown in \cite{S1, S2} that there does not exist any warped product submanifold of a Kaehler manifold such that the spherical manifold of the warped product is proper slant. In this paper, we introduce the notion of warped product submanifolds with a slant function. We show that there exists a class of non-trivial warped product submanifolds of a Kaehler manifold such that the spherical manifold is pointwise slant by giving an example and a characterization theorem. We also prove that if the warped product is mixed totally geodesic then the warping function is constant.
