Submersions of Generic Submanifolds of a
Kaehler Manifold
Let .11 be all alIllost Hermitian manifold with almost complex structure .I and .11. a RieInannian manifold isometrically unnierseci in _ll. \Ve note that subnlanifolds of a Kaehler
manifold are determined by the behaviour of tali , nt bundle of the sul>nlanifold under the
action of t he almost a1111ple1 structure of the ambient. miianifokl. A si1hnhanifol(l ;1I is called
holoIUorl)llic (coulplex) if J(1 ,(,11)) C 1,(:11) for revery p E Al. where 7(M) (leuotes the
tangent space to .11 at the point p. .11 is called totally real if .I (7(.11)) C 71; (.11), for
every p E .11, where 1r (.\I) denotes the normal space to .11 at the point p. As a generalization of holomnorpilic and totally real submamiifolds. CI?-suhnlanifolds were introduced
by A. Be.lanco. A C11-sIm1nlallifold .11 of an almost Hermitian manifold ,1/ with an almost complex striIetilre J requires
tWWWu,
orthogonal couhlllenmelItry distributions D and DL
defined on .11 such that D is invariant under .1 and Dl is totally real (A. Bejaneu. 1978:
B. Y. ('hen. 1981a). There is yet another generalization of ('R-sulnnanifolds known as
generic tiupl1ianifok1s (B. Y. Chen. 1981c). These snbnnahifolds are defined by relaxing
the condition on the coinp1enlentary distribution of ho1olhorlhic distribution. Let .\I be
a real subilianifold of all alms t Hermit ian manifold .1I and let DI, = TI,:'lt tl .JTI .lI he he
iimaximal hololnorphic suhspace of '11,(:11). If D : p - V t , definesa sinooth twloulorpliie
distribution on .11. then .11 is called a generic
SilbI11aIllfOl(l
of M. The complementary
distribution D" of V is called purely real distribution on .11. A generic sobxuanifold is a
CR-subJualifcl(1 if the purely real distribution on .11 is totally real. A purely real distribution D" on a generic subinanifohi Al is called proper if it is not totally real. A generic
subnlanifoki is called proper if purely real c1istribittiou is proper.

Chapter 2. Submersions of Generic Suhmanifolds of
it
Naehler Manifold
On the other hand, the study of the Riemannian submersion r : .11 -a 13 of a
Riemannian manifold Al onto a Riemannian manifold B was initiated by B. O'Neill (1966).
A submersion r naturally gives rise to two distributions on Al called the horizontal and
vertical distributions respectively, of which the vertical distribution is always integrable
giving rise to the fibers of the subiiicrsion which are closed sul.)nianifolds of Al.
For
it
CR-subma.nifold 11.1 of
it
Kaehler manifold ,tR. t lie distribution Dl is integrable
(A. Bejancu, 1976). S. Kobayashi (1987) observed the similarity between the total space
of submersion
7r
: Al -*B and the C/1-suhmanifold Al of a Kaehler manifold Al in terms
of the distributions. Thus he considered submersion i : Al > B of a CR-submanifold Al
of a Kaehler manifold Al onto an almost Hermitian manifold B such that the distributions
D and D'of Al become respectively the horizontal and vertical distributions required by
the submersion r and r restricted i o D become an isoniet r • which preserves the complex
structures. that. is. Ja-r+ = ir.oJ ut, D where J and J' are t lie almost complex structures
of Al and B respectively. He has shown that tuder this s;tuat ion 13 is necessat ilk• a
Iiaehler manifold and obtained the relations between holomorphic sectional curvatures of
Al restricted to D and that of B. Further this study has been extended by S. Deshmukh,
S. Ali and S. 1. Husain (1988). in which they obtained the relations between the Ricci
curvatures and the scalar curvatures of a Kaehler manifold and the base manifold.
To deal with the similar question for the generic submanifold of a Kaehler rnanifold, one has the difficulty that the distribution V' for generic simbntauifold of
it
Kaehler
manifold is not necessarily integrable to match the requirement of the submersion. To
overcome this difficulty we consider the submersion r, :.11 —> B of generic submanifolds
Al of a Kaehler manifold Al onto an almost Hermitian manifold B with the assumption
that. D" is integrable. In the first. section of this chapter. we have considered submersion
of a Cfl subinanifold of
it
Kaehler manifoldl onto an almost Hermitian manifold and ob-
tain product, theorems on such submersion by imposing conditions on CR-submanifold
and its distribution. In section 2 we study the submersions of generic submanifolds Al
of a Kaehler manifold Al onto an almost Hermitian manifold B with integrable purely
rail distribution D° and Drove that for the submersion of a generic submnanifold A! of a
Kaeliler manifold Al onto an almost Hermitian manifold B. B is necessarily a Kaeliler
manifold and obtain time decomposition theoremms for the generic submnanifold Al. Also we

have obtained the relation between the holomorphic sectional curvatures of :1f1 restricted
to D and that. of B. In the last of this chapter we have obtained the relation between the
holornorphic sectional curvatures of :11 restricted to D and that of B with totally geodesic
fibres.
The contents of this chapter are partially published in Global Journal of Advanced
Research on Classical and Modern Geometries.
2.1 Submersion of C Yf-Submanifolds
In this section. we have studied the. CR-suhmersiutis of lKaehlcr manifolds and a tnunber of
decomposition t.heoreins have been proved here. We start this section with the definition
of the stibinersion of a CJ?-subiiianifold of an almost. Hcrmit.ian manifold.
Definition 2.1.1. (S . Kobayashi. 1987). Let 1I be a C. 1l-submanifold of an almost Her-
'two ifuld .11 with distribution D and D- and the normal bundle T 1 11. By a
.uhntersinn r :.1 -+ B onto an almost Hermitian nr.anifold B use mean. a Riemannian
submersion 7r : M -~ B together •with the following conditions:
(i) D
is the kernel of ,r., that is ir,(D') = {0},
(ii) ,,.: D1, -> T (t,) B is a complex isometry for all 1, E .11. where T O B is the tangent
space of B at T(p).
(iii) J interchanges D1 and T'- .11 i.e.. JD= = T 1:11.
``fie call such submersion
as CR-submersion.
Let V. 0 and 0' denote Riemannian connections on R1, .11 and B respectively. For
the c011i1e(lion C7" we define corresponding comiection V` for basic vector fields on Al by
pt}'= 7-l(V'% Y).
(2.1.1)
Then V Y is a basic vector field. and by Lemma 1.4.1, we have
r•('.r Y) = V *.y .Y..
(2.1.2)
We define a tensor field C on Al by
x Y = 7\Y - C(X, Y),
(2.1.3)
for any X, V E [("D). where C(X. Y) is the vertical part of V. Y, i.e., V(V. Y) _
It has 1een observed that. C is skew svintinet.ric and satisfies
22
Chapter 2. Submersions of Generic Siibrnanifolcls of it Kaehler Manifold
C(X. I- ) 2 =
V[X. Y].
(2.1.4)
for any X. Y E F(D). Also for X E r(D) and 1' E 1,(D ), we define an operator A on
,ll by
V.~•[%=V(V,vV)+A.t1.
(2.1.5)
where A. V is the horizontal part of V.t l.'. Since [V, X1 E F(D1) for any basic vector field
X and V E I'(D1), we have
= W(V. X) = A_,c1'.
(2.1.6)
9(A 1', Y) = —g(V. C(X, S')).
(2.1.7)
The operator C and A are related iw
X. Y E I,(D) and V E F(D - ). The operator C in (2.1.3) was introduced by S. Kobayashi
(1987). For vertical vector fields an operator L was introduced by S. Deshniukh, S. Ali
and S. I. Husain (1988) in the following manner:
For
U. i! E I'(D' ). we define L by
V t;V = ntf l~'--L(U,V).
(2.1.8)
where ti - = V(Vt,V) and L(C'. V)
For horizontal vector field X and vertical vector field t' we set
\7 X = 7-I(Vt'X) +T-X.
(2.1.9)
where T'X = V(V v X). Moreover. if X is basic, [V. X) E 1'(D - ) for V E 1'(D1) and we
obtain 7-L(V l' ) = R (V x V) = A,v V. IIence, for a basic vector field X and V E F(V1)
\V(' have
= AxV + T'X.
The Operators
(2.1.10)
T and L are related by
g(7 X. IV) = —g(L(V 11'), X).
(2.1.11)
Let. Rt be the curvature tensor corresponding to the connection C" of the base manifold
B then R' and R are related by
R(X. I', Z. H) = R'(X.. Y.. Z. H.) — 9(C(X. Z), C( 1', H))
+ g(C(Y. Z). C(X, H) ± 2g(C(X. Y), C(Z, H)).

for the horizontal vector fields X. )'. Z and H on .11.
Let .7r : Al —* B be a CR-submersion and X, Y E F(D). then from (1.1.3) we have

23
which on using (1.2.1), (1.4.1) and (2.1.2) yields
Ct.lY + lc(X. JY) + C(X..IY) = Jt I., + JC(X. Y) -- .111(X,1").
(2.1.13)
Comparing vertical and normal parts. we have
Lemma 2.1.1. Let X. V be horizontal vector field.,, in .11. Then
(r) ('11 X../Y) = .Ilr(.l". Y).
(ii) h(.l',.11') = .IC(X.V)
Next. we have

Proposition 2.1.1. Let ill be a D-totally geodesic CR-sabntanifold of a Kaehler manifold

Theorem 2.1.1. Let JI be a D-totally geodesic CR-submanifold of a Kadrler manifold

a locally product manifold Rll x _11,), where 411 is an ini'ariant subntanifold and Al2 is a
totally real subm.anifold of Al.
Proof. Since .11 is totally geodesic, then Leninia 2.1.1 yields C(X, 1') = 0 for X. Y E I'(D)
and thus from the defining equation of C i.e., (2.1.3) it follows that V. Y E r(D), that.
is, D is parallel. Further. since on a C1?-suhmanifold Al of a Kaehler manifold Al, Dl is
integrable and totally geodesic then from a result of A. Bejancu [Theorem 4.4, p-9], D'
is also parallel. Since both the distributions are parallel, then by De Hham's Theorem Al
is the product manifold All x :112 , where .111 is the integral subnmamiifolds of D and 1112 is
integral submanifold of D1. This completes the proof of the theorem.
❑
As a consequence of Theorem 2.1.1 and Theorem 1.3 of (S. Kohavashi, 1987) we have
Corollary 2.1.1. Let Al be D-totally geodesic CR-subman.ifold of a Kaehler irtanifold Al.
If ir : 111 —4 B be a CR-submersion. from Al onto an almost Hermitian manifold B. then

In particular. if Al is a space of constant holomorphic sectional curvature C, then so is

For the submersion of CR-totally geodesic submanifold. we prove the following

B. Then .11 is a locally product 1111 X :111 , where M 1 is an invariant subnaanifold and :111
is totally real su.bmanifold of M.
Proof From the proof of the Theorem 2.1.1, it follows t hat. D is parallel. Also M being
C'R- tot ally geodesic, we have
/t(.l". l') = 0, for a,iv X E F(D), i-' E 1(D').

For any vector field V U' E F(D), from (1.1.3) we have

(2.1.17)
Tu complete the proof of the theorem, we need the following result whose proof vi11 be

equating vertical part we have

which t hen yields
Ct.Jlt' = Jv j-IV.
(2.1.18)
Heiicc. from (2.1.1 ) it 1ufluwti that V1•li' E F(D L.), i.e.. DI is parallel and this proves

the theorem.
Proof of the Lemma. Let .11 be it CR-totally geodesic, then by using Definition 1.3.8 and
(1.2.3) we get
9(A.\,17. X) = 0.
for each N E 1'(D), V E I'(D') and N E I'(T'. 1). This implies that A.N,V E l'(D' ).
Conversely, suppose that An-V E 1,(D-1 ) for any V.' E F(D1) and N E F(Tl.l1).
Let {N1 ' .2 ...,

Proof. Since the horizontal (list.ribut.ion D is integrable, so [X. Y] E F(D), for X. Y E
['(D): therefore V[X.1". = U. Then from (2.1.5). we have C'(X.Y) = 0. Titus from the
definition of C. We have Cr_y' — n Y E F(D), that. is D is parallel. Now, since the
horizontal listrihnt.ion D and vertical distribution D° are both parallel, it means that
both the distributions D and D° are integrable and their leaves are totally geodesic in
.11. therefore by Dc Rhamu's Theorem, it follows that Al is the generic pro(luct., i.e., .t/ _

Let N and N denote the holomorphic• sectional curvatures of :1/ and B respectively.
I11 order to compare the holonlorphic sectional curvatures of :lt with that of B, we calculate
the bisectional curvature. For this, we set Z = .I1 F. Y = JX in (1.2.4) and (2.1.12) and
get

From (2.2.11) and (2.2.12), we have

From above equation, we have the following theorem:
Theorem 2.2.3. Let al be a Kaehler manifold and Al be a generic' subrnanifold of Al with
D integrable. Let B be an almost Hermitian manifold and
it
: Al
B be a submersion
then the bisectional curvatures K and l of X11 and B n'spectivehl satisfy
K (IV, X) = K-(U -.. X.) + 1111.(X..JI1 , ) 11 2 + IIh(X, IV) 12.
for any X. 1[" in r(D).
Proof. Since D is integrable then
h(X, J117 ) = h(JX.1U),
(2.2.14)
for any X. IF E r(D). Also. from Proposition 2.2.2 we have
C'(X,I - )=0,
(2.2.15)
for any X. Y E h(D). Using the relation (2.2.14) and (2.2.15) iri (2.2.13), we get. the
result..
In order to compare the holomorphic sectional curvatures of Al and B. we have the
following theorem whose proof follows from Theorem 2.2.3.
Theorem 2.2.4. Let
7r
be a submersion from a generic subrnanifold Al of a Kaehler
manifold :11 onto an. almost Hermitian manifold B. If the horizontal distribution D is
integrable, then the holornorphic sectional curvatures of :11 and B satisfy

( 2.2.16)
for any X E F(D).
From above result, we have the following corollary:

Taking inner product with vertical vector field F in above relation, we get
R(U, V, It F) — R(U. V. Ii', F) — 9(L(V• U), L(U, F)) + g(L(U, II'). L(V, F)).
