Nonexistence of totally contact umbilical slant lightlike submanifolds of indefinite cosymplectic manifolds. (English) Zbl 1276.53021

Summary: We study totally contact umbilical slant light-like submanifolds of indefinite cosymplectic manifolds. We prove that there do not exist totally contact umbilical proper slant light-like submanifolds in indefinite cosymplectic manifolds other than totally contact geodesic proper slant light-like submanifolds. We also prove that there do not exist totally contact umbilical proper slant light-like submanifolds of indefinite cosymplectic space forms. Finally we give characterization theorems on minimal slant light-like submanifolds.
