  • This note provides a study of lightlike hypersurfaces of a generalized Robertson-Walker(GRW) space-time with a certain screen distribution, which are integrable and have good properties. Focus is to investigate geometric features from the relation of the second fundamental forms between lightlike hypersurfaces and leaves of the integrable screen distribution. Also, we shall apply those results on lightlike hypersurfaces of a GRW space-time to lightlike hypersurfaces of a Robertson-Walker(RW) space-time.

  • In this paper, we investigate horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces of Robertson-Walker spacetimes. Some results involving the unique existence of the screen distribution and the symmetry of the induced Ricci curvature tensor of horizontal lightlike hypersurfaces are presented. We also obtain some properties concerning the symmetry and the parallelism of the second fundamental forms of such lightlike hypersurfaces.

  • In this paper, we study three types of lightlike hypersurfaces, which are called recurrent, Lie recurrent and Hopf lightlike hypersurfaces, of an indefinite Kaehler manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We provide several new results on such three types of lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold or an indefinite complex space form, with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection.

  • In this paper, we study lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Sasakian manifold $\bar{M}$. First, we construct a type of lightlike hypersurface according to the form of the structure vector field of $\bar{M}$, named by ascreen lightlike hypersurface. Next, we characterize the geometry of such ascreen lightlike hypersurfaces.

  • We study lightlike hypersurfaces of a semi-Riemannian space form $\tilde{M}(c)$ admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. First, we construct a type of lightlike hypersurfaces according to the form of the structure vector field of $\tilde{M}(c)$, which is called a ascreen lightlike hypersurface. Next, we prove a characterization theorem for such an ascreen lightlike hypersurface endow with a totally geodesic screen distribution.
