On submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold admitting a quarter-symmetric non-metric connection


Guoqing He, Peibiao Zhao




We study submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold admitting a quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We prove the induced connection on a submanifold is also quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We consider the total geodesicness and minimality of a submanifold with respect to the quarter-symmetric non-metric connection. We obtain the Gauss, Cadazzi and Ricci equations for submanifolds with respect to the quarter-symmetric non-metric connection and show some applications of these equations. Finally, we give two examples verifying the results,
