In this paper, we introduce the idea of twisted product lightlike submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds and provide non-trivial examples of such lightlike submanifolds. Then, we prove the non-existence of proper isotropic or totally lightlike twisted product submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold. We also show that for a twisted product lightlike submanifold of a semi-Riemannian manifold, the induced connection ∇ is not a metric connection. Further, we prove that a totally umbilical SCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite Kaehler manifold ${\tilde{M}}$ does not admit any twisted product SCR-lightlike submanifold of the type M_⊥×_ϕM_T, where M_⊥ is a totally real submanifold and MT is a holomorphic submanifold of ${\tilde{M}}$. Consequently, we obtain a geometric inequality for the second fundamental form of twisted product SCR-lightlike submanifolds of the type M_T×_ϕM_⊥ of an indefinite Kaehler manifold ${\tilde{M}}$, in terms of the gradient of ln ϕ, where ϕ stands for the twisting function. Subsequently, the equality case of this inequality is discussed. Finally, we construct a non-trivial example of a twisted product SCR-lightlike submanifold in an indefinite Kaehler manifold.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of a screen slant lightlike submanifold of an indefinite Kenmotsu manifold. We provide characterization theorem for existence of screen slant lightlike submanifold with examples. Also, we give an example of a minimal screen slant lightlike submanifold of $R_2^9$ and prove some characterization theorems.

In this paper, we study GCR-lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Sasakian manifold. We give some necessary and sufficient conditions on integrability of various distributions of GCR-lightlike submanifold of an indefinite Sasakian manifold. We also find the conditions for each leaf of holomorphic distribution and radical distribution is totally geodesic.

We introduce GCR-lightlike submanifold of a semi-Riemannian product manifold and give an example. We study geodesic GCR-lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold and obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for a GCR-lightlike submanifold to be a GCR-lightlike product. Finally, we discuss minimal GCR-lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold.

We study the geometry of indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold ${\bar{M}}$ admitting a half lightlike submanifold M such that the structure vector field of ${\bar{M}}$ belongs to the transversal vector bundle of M. We prove several classification theorems of such an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold.

In the present study, we investigate generic lightlike submanifolds of indefinite nearly Kaehler manifolds. After proving the existence of generic lightlike submanifolds in an indefinite generalized complex space form, a non-trivial example of this class of submanifolds is discussed. Then, we find a characterization theorem enabling the induced connection on a generic lightlike submanifold to be a metric connection. We also derive some conditions for the integrability of distributions defined on generic lightlike submanifolds. Further, we discuss the non-existence of mixed geodesic generic lightlike submanifolds in a generalized complex space form. Finally, we investigate totally umbilical generic lightlike submanifolds and minimal generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite nearly Kaehler manifold.

We prove the non-existence of warped product GCR-lightlike submanifolds of the type K_⊥ × _λ K_T such that K_T is a holomorphic submanifold and K_⊥ is a totally real submanifold in an indefinite Kaehler manifold $\tilde{K}$. Further, the existence of GCR-lightlike warped product submanifolds of the type K_T × _λ K_⊥ is obtained by establishing a characterization theorem in terms of the shape operator and the warping function in an indefinite Kaehler manifold. Consequently, we find some necessary and sufficient conditions for an isometrically immersed GCR-lightlike submanifold in an indefinite Kaehler manifold to be a GCR-lightlike warped product, in terms of the canonical structures f and ω. Moreover, we also derive a geometric estimate for the second fundamental form of GCR-lightlike warped product submanifolds, in terms of the Hessian of the warping function λ.
