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.

This paper is concerned with almost para-complex structures on Walker 4-manifolds. For these structures, we study some problems of Kahler manifolds. We also give an example of a flat almost para-complex manifold, which consists of a nonintegrable almost para-complex structure on Walker 4-manifolds.

In this paper, we discuss some geometric properties of almost contact metric submersions involving symplectic manifolds. We show that the structures of quasi-K-cosymplectic and quasi-Kenmotsu manifolds are related to (1, 2)-symplectic structures. For horizontally submersions of contact CR-submanifolds of quasi-K-cosymplectic and quasi-Kenmotsu manifolds, we study the principal characteristics and prove that their total spaces are CR-product. Curvature properties between curvatures of quasi-K-cosymplectic and quasi-Kenmotsu manifolds and the base spaces of such submersions are also established. We finally prove that, under a certain condition, the contact CR-submanifold of a quasi Kenmotsu manifold is locally a product of a totally geodesic leaf of an integrable horizontal distribution and a curve tangent to the normal distribution.

Let M be a smooth manifold with Finsler metric F, and let TM° be the slit tangent bundle of M with a generalized Riemannian metric G, which is induced by F. In this paper, we extract many natural foliations of (TM°,G) and study some of their geometric properties. Next we use this approach to obtain new characterizations of Finsler manifolds with positive constant curvature.

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

In this paper, we consider Finsler metrics defined by a Riemannian metric and a 1-form on a manifold. We study these metrics with vanishing S-curvature. We find some conditions under which such a Finsler metric is Berwaldian or locally Minkowskian.

In this paper, we define the concept of almost product Riemannian submersion between almost product Riemannian manifolds. We introduce slant submersions from almost product Riemannian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We give examples and investigate the geometry of foliations that arise from the definition of a Riemannian submersion. We also find necessary and sufficient conditions for a slant submersion to be totally geodesic.
