Geometry of warped product pseudo-slant submanifolds of Kenmotsu manifolds

Abstract

In this paper, we study pseudo-slant submanifolds and their warped products in Kenmotsu manifolds. We obtain the necessary conditions that a pseudoslant submanifold is locally a warped product and establish an inequality for the squared norm of the second fundamental form in terms of the warping function. The equality case is also considered.
