This is a survey article on almost Lorentzian paracontact manifolds. The study of Lorentsian almost paracontact manifolds was initiated by Matsumoto [On Lorentzian paracontact manifolds, Bull. Yamagata Univ. Nat. Sci. 12 (1989), 151-l56]. Later on several authors studied Lorentzian almost paracontact manifolds and their different classes, viz. LP-Sasakian and LSP-Sasakian manifolds. Different types of submanifolds, for example invariant, semi-invariant and almost semi-invariant, of Lorentzian almost paracontact manifold have been studied. Here, we present a brief survey of results on Lorentzian almost paracontact manifolds with their different classes and their different kind of submanifolds.

In this paper, we introduce conformal semi-slant submersions from Lorentzian para Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We investigate integrability of distributions and the geometry of leaves of such submersions from Lorentzian para Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. Moreover, we examine necessary and sufficient conditions for such submersions to be totally geodesic where characteristic vector field ${\xi}$ is vertical.

The present paper deals with Lorentzian ${\alpha}-Sasakian$ manifolds with conformally flat and quasi conform ally flat curvature tensor. It is shown that in both cases, the manifold is locally isometric with a sphere $S^{2^{n}+1}(c)$. Further it is shown that an Lorentzian ${\alpha}-Sasakian$ manifold with R(X, Y).C = 0 is locally isometric with a sphere $S^{2^{n}+1}(c)$, where c = ${\alpha}^2$.

In this paper we study (${\epsilon}$)-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds and show its existence by an example. Some basic results regarding such manifolds have been deduced. Finally, we study conformally flat and Weyl-semisymmetric (${\epsilon}$)-Lorentzian para-Sasakian manifolds.

The aim of the present work is to study the properties of three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds equipped with a Yamabe soliton. It is proved that every three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold is Ricci semi-symmetric if and only if it is Einstein. Also, if the metric of a three-dimensional semi-symmetric Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold is a Yamabe soliton, then the soliton is shrinking and the flow vector field is Killing. We also study the properties of three-dimensional Ricci symmetric and 𝜂-parallel Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifolds with Yamabe solitons. Finally, we give a non-trivial example of three-dimensional Lorentzian para-Kenmotsu manifold.

We study nondegenerate immersions of Riemannian manifolds of constant sectional curvatures into Lorentzian manifolds of the same constant sectional curvatures with flat normal bundles. We also give a method to produce such immersions using the so-called Grassmannian system. .

In this study we consider ${\varphi}$-conformally flat, ${\varphi}$-conharmonically flat, ${\varphi}$-projectively at and ${\varphi}$-concircularly flat Lorentzian ${\alpha}$-Sasakian manifolds. In all cases, we get the manifold will be an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold.

The aim of the present paper is to study the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold endowed with semi-symmetric metric connections admitting ${\eta}$-Ricci Solitons and Ricci Solitons. We find expressions for the curvature tensor, the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature tensor of ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection. Also, we discuses some results on quasi-projectively flat and ${\phi}$-projectively flat manifolds endowed with a semi-symmetric-metric connection. It is shown that the manifold satisfying ${\bar{R}}.{\bar{S}}=0$, ${\bar{P}}.{\bar{S}}=0$ is an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold. Moreover, we obtain the conditions for the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection to be conformally flat and ${\xi}$-conformally flat.

Semi-invariant submanifolds of Lorentzian almost paracontact mani-folds are studied. Integrability of certain distributions on the submanifold are in vestigated. It has been proved that a LP-Sasakian manifold does not admit a proper semi-invariant submanifold.

The purpose of this paper is to give a necessary and sufficient condition for a smooth manifold to admit a Lorentzian metric. As an application of this result, on Lorentzian manifolds we have shown that the existence of a 1-dimensional distribution is equivalent to the existence of a non-vanishing vector field.
