Abstract

In the present paper, we study slant submanifolds of a Lorentzian para (LP)-Sasakian manifold. We consider  as a totally umbilical proper slant submanifold of an LP-Sasakian manifold and show that every totally umbilical proper slant submanifold of an LP-Sasakian manifold   is either totally geodesic or if it is not totally geodesic in , then we derive a formula of its slant angle and give an example.

 

Key words: Slant submanifold, totally umbilical, totally geodesic, minimal submanifold, Lorentzian para (LP)-Sasakian manifold.
