In the present paper, we study hemi-slant submanifolds of a locally product Riemannian manifold. We prove that the anti-invariant distribution involved in the definition of hemi-slant submanifold is integrable and give some applications of this result. We get a necessary and sufficient condition for a proper hemi-slant submanifold to be a hemi-slant product. We also study these types of submanifolds with parallel canonical structures. Moreover, we give two characterization theorems for the totally umbilical proper hemi-slant submanifolds. Finally, we obtain a basic inequality involving Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature of a hemi-slant submanifold of a certain type of locally product Riemannian manifolds.

In this paper we introduce the notions of semi-slant and bi-slant submanifolds of an almost contact 3-structure manifold. We give some examples and characterization theorems about these submanifolds. Moreover, the distributions of semi-slant submanifolds of 3-cosymplectic and 3-Sasakian manifolds are studied. ϕi)i=1;2;3 and the vector elds should be slant or invariant with respect to all of the ϕi's. Therefore, it is a generalization of invariant, anti-invariant, slant, semi-slant, and bi-slant submanifolds in almost contact metric 3-structures and we denote them by 3- semi-slant and 3-bi-slant submanifolds. Following the approaches of (3, 13), we characterized 3-bi-slant and 3-semi-slant submanifolds and studied geometric properties of distributions of these submanifolds where the ambient manifolds are 3-Sasakian or 3-cosymplectic. It should be noted that, in the denition of semi-slant
