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 introduce the study of generic lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold. We establish a characterization theorem for the induced connection on a generic lightlike submanifold to be a metric connection. We also find some conditions for the integrability of the distributions associated with generic lightlike submanifolds and discuss the geometry of foliations. Then we search for some results enabling a generic lightlike submanifold of a semi-Riemannian product manifold to be a generic lightlike product manifold. Finally, we examine minimal generic lightlike submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian product manifold.

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.

In this paper, we study the geometry of indefinite generalized Sasakian space form $\bar{M}(f_1,f_2,f_3)$ admitting a generic lightlike submanifold M subject such that the structure vector field of $\bar{M}(f_1,f_2,f_3)$ is tangent to M. The purpose of this paper is to prove a classification theorem of such an indefinite generalized Sasakian space form.

The notion of a non-metric ${\phi}$-symmetric connection on semi-Riemannian manifolds was introduced by Jin [6, 7]. The object of study in this paper is generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Kaehler manifold ${\bar{M}}$ with a non-metric ${\phi}$-symmetric connection. First, we provide several new results for such generic lightlike submanifolds. Next, we investigate generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite complex space form ${\bar{M}}(c)$ with a non-metric ${\phi}$-symmetric connection.

Jin studied lightlike hypersurfaces of an indefinite Kaehler manifold [6, 8] or indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold [7] with a quarter-symmetric metric connection. Jin also studied generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold with a quarter-symmetric metric connection [10]. We study generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite Kaehler manifold with a quarter-symmetric metric connection.

The object of study in this paper is generic lightlike submanifolds of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold with a quarter-symmetric metric connection. We study the geometry of two types of generic light-like submanifolds, which are called recurrent and Lie recurrent generic lightlike submanifolds, of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold with a quarter-symmetric metric connection.

We study generic lightlike submanifolds M of an indefinite trans-Sasakian manifold ${\bar{M}}$ or an indefinite generalized Sasakian space form ${\bar{M}}(f_1,f_2,f_3)$ endowed with an $({\ell},m)$-type metric connection subject such that the structure vector field ${\zeta}$ of ${\bar{M}}$ is tangent to M.

We introduce the study of a new class of a lightlike submersion d. Then, we derive a relationship between the holomorphic section 𝜙 : K₁ → K' from a screen generic lightlike submanifold of an indefinite Kaehler manifold K₂ onto an indefinite almost Hermitian manifold K', and show that for this case K' must be an indefinite Kaehler manifold. Then, we derive a relationship between the holomorphic sectional curvatures of K₂ and K'. Finally, we present a classification theorem for a screen generic lightlike submersion, giving the relationship between the sectional curvatures of the total space K₂ and the fibers.

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.
