NEW RELATIONSHIPS INVOLVING THE MEAN CURVATURE OF SLANT SUBMANIFOLDS IN S-SPACE-FORMS

Relationships between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature and between the shape operator associated with the mean curvature vector and the sectional curvature function for slant submanifolds of an S-space-form are proved, particularizing them to invariant and anti-invariant submanifolds tangent to the structure vector fields.
