Abstract
In this work, we define a v-quasi-bi-slant Riemannian map (in brief, v-QBSR map) from almost Hermitian manifolds to Riemannian manifolds. This notion generalizes both a v-hemi slant Riemannian map and a v-semi slant Riemannian map. The geometry of leaves of distributions that are associated with the definition of such maps is studied. The conditions for v-QBSR maps to be integrable and totally geodesic are also obtained in the paper. Finally, we provide the examples of v-QBSR maps.
1. Introduction
Let be a -map from a Riemannian manifold to another Riemannian manifold . The notion of a Riemannian map between two Riemannian manifolds was introduced by Fischer [], and generalizes both the notion of an isometric immersion and a Riemannian submersion. The theory of Riemannian submersion is discussed in []. In [], Fischer also defined the concept of a Riemannian map in the following way: Let be a differentiable map between Riemannian manifolds such that . If we denote the space of by and the orthogonal complementary space of by in , then has the following orthogonal decomposition:
Here, if the of is denoted by and for a point , the orthogonal complementary space of by in Then, the tangent space has the following orthogonal decomposition:
A differentiable map is named a Riemannian map at if the horizontal restriction is a linear isometry between the inner product space and We see that a peculiar property of a Riemannian map is that it satisfies the generalized eikonal equation . This equation works as a bridge between physical and geometrical optics []. By using Cauchy’s method of characteristics, the eikonal equation of geometrical optics was solved with the help of Cauchy’s method of characteristic.
The Riemannian maps have several important applications in mathematics as well as in physics, especially within the Yang–Mills theory [], Kaluza–Klein theory [], supergravity and superstring theories [], redundant robotic chains [] etc. General relativity, which relates the gravitational force to the curvature of space-time, provides a respectable theory of gravity on a larger scale. Supergravity theories permit extra dimensions in space-time, beyond the familiar three dimensions of space and one of time. Supergravity models in higher dimensions reduce to the familiar four-dimensional space-time if it is postulated that the extra dimensions are compacted or curled up in such a way that they are not noticeable. The advantage of the extra dimensions is that they allow supergravity theories to incorporate the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces as well as gravity.
Moreover, Şahin introduced many types of Riemannian maps ([,,,,,]; see also [,,,,,]). One may consult the references [,,] for further studies.
In [], Park introduced v-semi-slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds, and in [], Sepet and Bozok proposed v-semi-slant submersions from almost product Riemannian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. In this paper, we are interested in studying the above idea in the setting of v-QBSR maps. The article is organized as follows: Some basic information about Riemannian maps is given in Section 2. In Section 3, using v-QBSR maps, we obtain some properties, results and decomposition theorems. In Section 4, we present the examples of the v-QBSR maps.
2. Preliminaries
Let be a -manifold of even dimension []. Let J be a tensor field defined on such that where I denotes the identity operator; then, J is called an almost complex structure on , which is an almost complex manifold. We know that an almost complex manifold is orientable. The Nijenhuis tensor N of type of an almost complex structure J is defined as:
If the Nijenhuis tensor N of an almost complex structure J on the manifold vanishes then the manifold becomes a complex manifold.
Let us consider a Riemannian metric on the manifold as:
then is called a Hermitian metric on the manifold and with the metric called an almost Hermitian manifold. The Levi–Civita connection ∇ on the manifold can be extended to the whole tensor algebra on the manifold The tensor fields are defined as:
for any .
An almost Hermitian manifold is called a Kähler manifold if:
for any .
Now, we mention the following definition for further use:
