In this paper, we investigate p-biharmonic maps u : (M, g) $\rightarrow$ (N, h) from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold with non-positive sectional curvature. We obtain that if ${\int}_M|{\tau}(u)|^{{\alpha}+p}dv_g$ < ${\infty}$ and ${\int}_M|d(u)|^2dv_g$ < ${\infty}$, then u is harmonic, where ${\alpha}{\geq}0$ is a nonnegative constant and $p{\geq}2$. We also obtain that any weakly convex p-biharmonic hypersurfaces in space formN(c) with $c{\leq}0$ is minimal. These results give affirmative partial answer to Conjecture 2 (generalized Chen's conjecture for p-biharmonic submanifolds).

In this paper, we study the geometry of half lightlike submanifolds M of a semi-Riemannian manifold $\tilde{M}$ with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection subject to the conditions; (1) the characteristic vector field of $\tilde{M}$ is tangent to M, the screen distribution on M is totally umbilical in M and the co-screen distribution on M is conformal Killing, or (2) the screen distribution is integrable and the local lightlike second fundamental form of M is parallel.

In this article, we study the relations of horizontally homothetic harmonic morphisms with the stability of totally geodesic submanifolds. Let $\varphi:(M^n,g)\rightarrow(N^m,h)$ be a horizontally homothetic harmonic morphism from a Riemannian manifold into a Riemannian manifold of non-positive sectional curvature and let T be the tensor measuring minimality or totally geodesics of fibers of $\varphi$. We prove that if T is parallel and the horizontal distribution is integrable, then for any totally geodesic submanifold P in N, the inverse set, $\varphi^{-1}$(P), is volume-stable in M. In case that P is a totally geodesic hypersurface the condition on the curvature can be weakened to Ricci curvature.

Jin [7] defined a new connection on semi-Riemannian manifolds, which is a non-symmetric and non-metric connection. He said that this connection is an (ℓ, m)-type connection. Jin also studied lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold with an (ℓ, m)-type connection in [7]. We study further the geometry of this subject. In this paper, we study generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold endowed with an (ℓ, m)-type connection.

Depending on the characteristic vector filed ζ, a generic lightlike submanifold M in an indefinite Kaehler manifold ${\bar{M}}$ with a semi-symmetric metric connection has various characterizations. In this paper, when the characteristic vector filed ζ belongs to the screen distribution S(TM) of M, we provide some characterizations of (Lie-) recurrent generic lightlike submanifold M in an indefinite Kaehler manifold ${\bar{M}}$ with a semi-symmetric metric connection. Moreover, we characterize various generic lightlike submanifolds in an indefinite complex space form ${\bar{M}}$ (c) with a semi-symmetric metric connection.

As warped product manifolds provide an excellent setting to model space time near black holes or bodies with large gravitational field, the study of these manifolds assumes significance in general. B. Y. Chen [4] initiated the study of CR-warped product submanifolds in a Kaehler manifold. He obtained a characterization for a CR-submanifold to be locally a CR-warped product and an estimate for the squared norm of the second fundamental form of CR-warped products in a complex space form (cf [6]). In the present paper, we have obtained a necessary and sufficient conditions in terms of the canonical structures P and F on a CR-submanifold of a nearly Kaehler manifold under which the submanifold reduces to a locally CR-warped product submanifold. Moreover, an estimate for the second fundamental form of the submanifold in a generalized complex space is obtained and thus extend the results of Chen to a more general setting.

Let $M^{2n+1}$, $n{\geq}1$, be a smooth manifold with a pseudoconvex integrable CR structure of hypersurface type. We consider a sequence of CR invariant subsets $M={\mathcal{S}}_0{\supset}{\mathcal{S}}_1{\supset}{\cdots}{\supset}{\mathcal{S}}_n$, where $S_q$ is the set of points where the Levi-form has nullity ${\geq}q$. We prove that ${\mathcal{S}}{_q}^{\prime}s$ are locally given as common zero sets of the coefficients $A_j$, $j=0,1,{\ldots},q-1$, of the characteristic polynomial of the Levi-form. Some sufficient conditions for local existence of complex submanifolds are presented in terms of the coefficients $A_j$.

In this present paper, we study QSM-connection (quarter-symmetric metric connection) on Sasakian statistical manifolds. Firstly, we express the relation between the QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the torsion-free connection ∇ and obtain the relation between the curvature tensors ${\tilde{R}}$ of ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and R of ∇. After then we obtain these relations for ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the dual connection ∇^* of ∇. Also, we give the relations between the curvature tensor ${\tilde{R}}$ of QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the curvature tensors R and R^* of the connections ∇ and ∇^* on Sasakian statistical manifolds. We obtain the relations between the Ricci tensor of QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the Ricci tensors of the connections ∇ and ∇^*. After these, we construct an example of a 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold admitting the QSM-connection in order to verify our results. Finally, we study the submanifolds with the induced connection with respect to QSM-connection of statistical manifolds.

In this paper, for an m-dimensional (m ≥ 5) complete non-compact submanifold M immersed in an n-dimensional (n ≥ 6) simply connected Riemannian manifold N with negative sectional curvature, under suitable constraints on the squared norm of the second fundamental form of M, the norm of its weighted mean curvature vector |H_f| and the weighted real-valued function f, we can obtain: • several one-end theorems for M; • two Liouville theorems for harmonic maps from M to complete Riemannian manifolds with nonpositive sectional curvature.
