A Note on Riemannian Submersions with Umbilical Fibres

T. Tshikuna-Matamba

Abstract


In this paper, we discuss some geometric properties of Riemannian submersions whose fibres are totally contact umbilical. Some interrelations between totally contact umbilic, totally geodesic and minimality are established.

Keywords


Riemannian submersions; almost contact metric manifolds; umbilicity; almost contact metric submersions.
