1. Introduction
The hypothesis of Riemannian submersions developed by O’Neill [
1] and Gray [
2] is now the most fascinating area of differential geometry research. Riemannian submersions among nearly-Hermitian manifolds were regarded as almost-Hermitian submersions by Watson [
3]. After that, various subclasses of almost-Hermitian manifolds have been the subject of intense research with regard to almost-Hermitian submersions. Additionally, under the term of contact-Riemannian submersions, Riemannian submersions were expanded to include a number of subclasses of almost-contact manifolds. The book [
4] contains vast investigations of Riemannian, nearly-Hermitian, and contact-Riemannian submersions.
Since Şahin [
5] introduced such submersions along nearly-Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds, the topic of Lagrangian submersions and anti-invariant submersions has become a particularly active research area. Anti-invariant and Lagrangian submersions have been researched in a variety of structures, including nearly-Kähler [
6], Kähler [
5,
7], local-product Riemannian [
8], almost-product [
9], Sasakian [
10,
11,
12,
13], Kenmotsu [
13,
14], and cosymplectic structure [
15].
It should be emphasized that the theory of anti-invariant Riemannian submersion has been enlarged into the concept of conformal anti-invariant submersion [
16]. The bulk of the research on anti-invariant and Lagrangian submersions is reported in [
17].
The following is how this document is structured.
Section 2 introduces the background of the Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold.
Section 3 provides some context for Riemannian submersions. The authors review the definitions of anti-invariant and Lagrangian submersions in
Section 4.
Section 5 investigates anti-invariant submersions from Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds conceding vertical Reeb vector fields, provides an example, and discusses some of its characteristics.
Section 6 discusses the scenario where the Reeb vector field is horizontal.
Section 7 investigates the geometry of vertical and horizontal distributions for Lagrangian submersions accommodating a vertical Reeb vector field. We also provide a necessary and sufficient condition for such harmonic submersions. Comparable investigations for Lagrangian submersions conceding horizontal Reeb vector fields are given at the end.
Lorentzian almost-para-contact manifolds were introduced by Matsumoto [
18]. Following that, several geometers investigated various structures on these manifolds. After the work in [
19,
20,
21], the study of Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds has become a topic of increasing scholarly interest.

This indicates that Φ is a submersion. Simple calculations produceand Also, direct computations yields It is easy to observe that Hence, we can easily observe that Φ meets the requirement (C2). As a result, Φ is a Θ.
4. Submersions from Lorentzain Para-Sasakian Manifolds
We begin by recalling the essence of an anti-invariant Riemannian submersion with a Lorentzian para-contact manifold as its total manifold.

Such submersions will be denoted for short by Θ. A horizontal distribution
is decomposed in this situation as

We have an anti-invariant submersion
with a
vertical Reeb vector field (briefly,
-RVF) if the Reeb vector field

horizontal Reeb vector field (briefly,
ℏ-RVF) if the Reeb vector field
is normal to

ℏ-RVF

7. Lagrangian Submersions with -RVFs from Lorentzian Para-Sasakian Manifolds
In this section, we examine the integrability and total geodesicity of the horizontal distribution of conceding a -RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold. Initially, we estimate the behavior of the tensor of . In light of Lemma 4, one can obtain the following outcomes.

50). □
Remark 3. Referring to [26], it can be noted that tensor T vanishes if the fibers of a Riemannian submersion are totally geodesic. Corollary 1 entails that the tensor cannot vanish. Hence, in light of Remark 3, we can articulate the following.

11). □
Remark 4. The total geodesicity and integrability of the horizontal distribution are equivalent to each other for a Riemannian submersion. The same condition can be observed from Equations (8) and (12). Therefore, the tensor A vanishes in this case. We can observe that the tensor
cannot vanish for the submersion from Equation (
54). Then, we get the following theorem.
Theorem 4. Let Φ be a Ξ with a -RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold . Then, the horizontal distribution of Φ is not integrable.
Remark 5. A mapping between Riemannian manifolds is considered to be totally geodesic
if preserves parallel translation. According to Vilms [26], a Riemannian submersion Φ is totally geodesic if and only if both tensors T and A vanish. Now, referring to Theorem 3 or Theorem 4 and Remark 5, we gain the following outcome.
Theorem 5. Let Φ be a Ξ with a -RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold . Then, the submersion Φ is not a totally geodesic map.

56)–(
58), the required result follows. □
Example 3. Let , wherein are the standard coordinates in , and be a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold, as in the example in Equation (2). Now, let us assume the map defined by the following:where is the Riemannian metric of . Thus, the Jacobian matrix of Φ is given as: Since the rank of the matrix is equal to 2, the map Φ is a submersion. On the other hand, we can observe that Φ obeys the condition (C2). Then, by a direct estimation, we arrive atandIt is easy to identify that , , and entail thatConsequently, Φ is a Ξ such that ς is a -RVF. 8.

It should be emphasized that the proof of Theorem 7 is highly analogous to the proof of Theorem 8.1 in [
10], but we include it for clarification.
From Lemma 1, we get the following corollary.
Corollary 3. Let Φ be a Ξ with a ℏ-RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold Then, we havefor and . Proof. Equations (
59) and (
60) are derived by using Equations (
34) and (
37). The final claim in Equation (
61) follows from Equations (
4) and (
10) or straight from Equation (
44). □
We can see from Equation (
61) that the tensor
cannot vanish; hence, we have the following result.
Theorem 8. Let Φ be a Ξ with a ℏ-RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold Then, the fibers of Φ are not totally geodesic.
Corollary 4. Let Φ be a Ξ with a ℏ-RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold Then, we getfor and . Proof. Equations (
62) and (
63) are derived using Equations (
38) and (
41). The third claim (Equation (
64)) follows from Equations (
4) and (
11). The final claim is obtained through Equation (
65). □
It is clear from Equations (
62) and (
63) that the tensor
cannot vanish. As a result of Remark 4, we gain the desired result.
Theorem 9. Let Φ be a Ξ with a ℏ-RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold The horizontal distribution of Φ is hence not integrable.
Based on Remark 5 from Theorem 8 or Theorem 9, we obtain the following outcome.
Theorem 10. Let Φ be a Ξ with a ℏ-RVF from a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold Then, the submersion Φ is not a totally geodesic map.
Lastly, we can present a finding relating to the harmonicity of .

Remark 6. Theorems 8, 9, and 10 also hold for a Θ allowing a ℏ-RVF.
9. Some Number Theoretic Applications to Riemannian Submersions
The sumberison
is a smooth Hopf fibration [
28]. Moreover, a large class of submersions are submersions between spheres of higher dimensions, such as
whose fibers have the dimension
m. The Hopf fibration asserts that a fibration generalizes the idea of a fiber bundle and plays a significant role in algebraic topology [
29].
Every fiber in a fibration is closely connected to the homotopy group and satisfies the homotopy property [
30]. The homotopy group of spheres
essentially describes how several spheres of different dimensions may twist around one another. We can obtain the
j-th homotopy group
in which the
j-dimensional sphere
can be mapped continuously onto the
r-dimensional sphere
.
Now, we have the following remark:
Remark 7. We aim to figure out the homotopy groups for positive k using the formula . The homotopy groups with are known as stable homotopty groups of spheres and are denoted by . They are finite abelian groups for . In view of Freudenthal’s suspension Theorem [31], the groups are known as unsteady homotopy groups of spheres for . Now, in light of Theorem 1 and using Remark (7), we get the following outcomes.
Theorem 12. Let be a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold of dimension , and is a Riemannian manifold of dimension s. Let be a Θ. Then, the homotopy group of Θ is
Example 4. Let us adopt the example from Equation (2). We have anti-invariant submersions with a ℏ-RVF wherein is a Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifold. Next, consider a mappingwhere is the Riemannian metric of . Then, according to Hopf fibration (the fiber bundle), we have homotopy groups: Therefore, the above remark entails that ; i.e., . Thus, the homotopy groups are unstable homotopy groups.
Remark 8. For a prime number p, the homotopy p-exponent of a topological space , denoted by , is defined to be the largest such that some homotopy group has an element of order . Cohen et al. [32] proved that For a prime number p and an integer z, the p-adic order of z is given by = .
Example 5. In view of Equation (67) and Remark (8), the homotopy p-exponent of homotopy group of the anti-invariant submersions Φ with ℏ-RVFs is Moreover, the homotopy group of anti-invariant submersions Φ with ℏ-RVFs has an element of the p-adic order 9e, where
Through the above observation, in 2007, Davis and Sun proved an interesting inequality in terms of homotopy groups. For more details, see Theorem 1.1, page 2, in [
33]. According to them, for any prime
p and
, some homotopy group
contains an element of order
; i.e., the strong and elegant lower bound for the homotopy
p-exponent of the homotopy group is then
where
is a special unitary group of degree
n.
Therefore, using Davis and Sun’s result (Theorem 1.1 [
33]) with Theorem 12, we gain an interesting inequality.
Theorem 13. For any prime number p and , some homotopy group of Θ contains an element of order , and we get the inequality Example 6. Again, considering the case of the example in Equation (4), the homotopy group of anti-invariant submersions Φ with ℏ-RVFs is . Equation (13) also holds for the homotopy group of submersion Φ such that 10. Conclusions
This study explored the possibility that, if an anti-invariant Riemannian submersion admits a vertical Reeb vector field, the fiber of the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion is not totally umbilical. Also, if a Lagrangian submersion admits a vertical Reeb vector field, the fiber of the Lagrangian submersion is not totally geodesic, and under the same condition, the horizontal distribution of the submersion is not integrable. In addition, this implies a necessary and sufficient condition for a Lagrangian submersion to be harmonic, and a Lagrangian submersion with a horizontal Reeb vector field is not totally geodesic. Furthermore, if a Lagrangian submersion admits a horizontal Reeb vector field, the horizontal distribution of the same submersion is not integrable. Finally, this Riemannian submersion from Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds can be used to construct a homotopy group and find the lower bound for the same homotopy group of the Riemannian submersion.
