are constructed. We also prove the existence of a metallic structure on

F M

with the aid of the

\tilde{J}

tensor field, which we define. Results for the 2-Form and its derivative are then obtained. Additionally, we derive the expressions of the Nijenhuis tensor of a tensor field

This paper mainly devotes to the study of some solitons such as Ricci and Yamabe solitons and also their combination called Ricci-Yamabe solitons. In the geometry of solitons, a fundamental question is to identify the conditions under which these solitons can be trivial. Firstly, in this paper we study some extensive results on generic contact CR-submanifolds of Sasakian manifolds endowed with concurrent vector fields. Then some applications of solitons such as Ricci and Ricci-Yamabe solitons on such submanifolds with concurrent vector fields in the same ambient manifold have been discussed. Full article

The curvature characteristics of particular classes of Finsler spaces, such as homogeneous Finsler spaces, are one of the major issues in Finsler geometry. In this paper, we have obtained the expression for S-curvature in homogeneous Finsler space with a generalized Matsumoto metric and demonstrated that the homogeneous generalized Matsumoto space with isotropic S-curvature has to vanish the S-curvature. We have also derived the expression for the mean Berwald curvature by using the formula of S-curvature. Full article

A complete Riemannian manifold equipped with some potential function and an invariant conformal measure is referred to as a complete smooth metric measure space. This paper generalizes some integral inequalities of the Hardy type to the setting of a complete non-compact smooth metric measure space without any geometric constraint on the potential function. The adopted approach highlights some criteria for a smooth metric measure space to admit Hardy inequalities related to Witten and Witten p-Laplace operators. The results in this paper complement in several aspect to those obtained recently in the non-compact setting. Full article

The central problem of this study is to represent any holomorphic and square integrable function on the Kepler manifold in the series form based on Fourier analysis. Because these function spaces are reproducing kernel Hilbert spaces (RKHS), three different domains on the Kepler manifold are considered and the weak pre-orthogonal adaptive Fourier decomposition (POAFD) is proposed on the domains. First, the weak maximal selection principle is shown to select the coefficient of the series. Furthermore, we prove the convergence theorem to show the accuracy of our method. This study is the extension of work by Wu et al. on POAFD in Bergman space. Full article

The study of inequalities for statistical submanifolds in Hessian manifolds of constant Hessian curvature was truly initiated in 2018 by Mihai, A. and Mihai, I. who dealt with Chen-Ricci and Euler inequalities. Later on, Siddiqui, A.N., Ahmad K. and Ozel C. came with the study of Casorati inequality for statistical submanifolds in the same ambient space by using algebraic technique. Also, Chen, B.-Y., Mihai, A. and Mihai, I. obtained a Chen first inequality for such submanifolds. In 2020, Mihai, A. and Mihai, I. studied the Chen inequality for

A Yamabe soliton is defined on an arbitrary almost-contact B-metric manifold, which is obtained by a contact conformal transformation of the Reeb vector field, its dual contact 1-form, the B-metric, and its associated B-metric. The cases when the given manifold is cosymplectic or Sasaki-like are studied. In this manner, manifolds are obtained that belong to one of the main classes of the studied manifolds. The same class contains the conformally equivalent manifolds of cosymplectic manifolds by the usual conformal transformation of the B-metric on contact distribution. In both cases, explicit five-dimensional examples are given, which are characterized in relation to the results obtained. Full article

{∥A∥}^{2} = n

is obtained using the associated vector field w an eigenvector of rough Laplace operator. Finally, a characterization of Clifford hypersurfaces is found using an upper bound on the integral of Ricci curvature in the direction of the vector field

One of the fundamental problems in the theory of submanifolds is to establish optimal relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic invariants for submanifolds. In order to establish such relations, the first author introduced in the 1990s the notion of

δ

-invariants for Riemannian manifolds, which are different in nature from the classical curvature invariants. The earlier results on

δ

-invariants and their applications have been summarized in the first author’s book published in 2011 Pseudo-Riemannian Geometry, δ-Invariants and Applications (ISBN: 978-981-4329-63-7). In this survey, we present a comprehensive account of the development of the differential geometry of submanifolds in complex space forms involving the

δ

-invariants done mostly after the publication of the book. Full article
