ABSTRACT
Under investigation were the submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with a semi- symmetric non-metric connection.We have proved that the induced connection is also a semi-symmetric non-metric connection.The totaly geodesicness and the minimality of a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection were also considered.We have obtained the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations with respect to a semi-symmetric, non-metric connection.The relation between the sectional curvatures of the Levi-Civita connection and the semi-symmetric non-metric connection is also obtained.
Keywords: Semi-symmetric non-metric connection, submanifold.
INTRODUCTION
Hayden (1932) introduced the notion of a semi-symmetric metric connection on a Riemannian manifold.Yano (1970) studied some properties of a Riemannian manifold endowed with a semi-symmetric metric connection.Imai (1972a &
1972b found some properties of a Riemannian manifold and a hypersurface of a Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric metric connection.Nakao (1976) studied submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric metric connection.Agashe and Cha¯e (1992 & 1994) introduced the notion of a semi- symmetric non-metric connection and studied some of its properties and submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric non-metric connections.Sengupta, De & Binh (2000) de®ned a new type of semi-symmetric non-metric connection.
In the present paper, we have studied submanifolds of a Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection as de®ned in Sengupta, De & Binh (2000).The paper is organized as follows: in Section 2, we have given some properties of the semi-symmetric non-metric connection; in Section 3, some necessary information about a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection has been given and we have
proved that the induced connection is also a semi-symmetric non-metric connection.We have also considered the totaly geodesicness and the minimality of a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold with the semi-symmetric non- metric connection.In Section 4, we have obtained the Gauss, Codazzi and Ricci equations with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection.The relation between the sectional curvatures of the Levi-Civita connection and the semi-symmetric non-metric connection has been also found.
PRELIMINARIES
Let ~M be an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold with a Riemannian metric g;and let ~r be the Levi-Civita connection on ~M: Sengupta, De & Binh (2000) de®ned a linear connection on ~M by
~3
rX~Y ~~ rX~Y ! ~~ Y ~X ÿ g ~X; ~Y ~U g ~X; ~Y ~E; 1
where ~U is a vector ®eld associated with the 1-form ! de®ned by
! ~X g ~X; ~U 2
and ~E is a vector ®eld associated with the 1-form by
~X g ~X; ~E: 3
Using (1), the torsion tensor T of ~M with respect to the connection ~r is given by3
T ~X; ~Y ~r3X~Y ÿ ~~ r3Y~X ÿ ~~ 2X; ~Y3
! ~Y ~X ÿ ! ~X ~Y: 4
A linear connection ~r satisfying (4) is called a semi-symmetric connection.If ~3 rg 6 03 then ~r is called a non-metric connection.Using (1), we have3
~3 rX~g
~Y; ~Z ÿ ~Yg ~X; ~Z ÿ ~Zg ~X; ~Y: 5
Hence the connection ~r is not a metric connection.Because of this reason,3 this connection is called a semi-symmetric non-metric connection (for more details see Sengupta, De & Binh, 2000).
We denote by ~R3 the curvature tensor of ~M with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r: So we have3
R3~ ~X; ~Y ~Z ~r3X~r~3Y~Z ÿ ~~ r3Y~r~3X~Z ÿ ~~ r3 ~X; ~~YZ
~R ~X; ~Y ~Z ÿ s ~Y; ~Z ~X s ~X; ~Z ~Y

and

(see Sengupta, De & Binh, 2000).The Riemannian Christoel tensors of the connections ~r and ~3 rare de®ned by
R~3 ~X; ~Y; ~Z; ~W g ~R3 ~X; ~Y ~Z; ~W
and
R ~~ X; ~Y; ~Z; ~W g ~R ~X; ~Y ~Z; ~W;
respectively.
SUBMANIFOLDS
Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold ~M with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r:3 Decomposing the vector ®elds ~Uand ~E on M uniquely into their tangent and normal components UT; U?and ET; E?;respectively, we have
U U~ T U?; 9
E E~ T E?: 10
The Gauss formula for a submanifold M of a Riemannian manifold ~M with respect to the Riemannian connection ~r is given by
r~
XY rXY h X; Y; 11
where X; Yare vector ®elds tangent to M; and his the second fundamental form of M in ~M: If h 0;then M is called totally geodesic. H 1
ntraceh is called the mean curvature vector of the submanifold.If H 0 then M is called minimal.
For the second fundamental form h, the covariant derivative of h is de®ned by r
Xh
Y; Z r?X h Y; Z ÿ h rXY; Z ÿ h Y; rXZ
for any vector ®elds X; Y; Z tangent to M: Then rh is a normal bundle valued tensor ®eld of type 0; 3 and is called the third fundamental form of M: r is called the van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection of M;i.e., ris the connection in TM 8 T?M built with r and r?Chen (1973).
Let r3 be the induced connection from the semisymmetric non-metric connection.We de®ne
~3
rXY r3 XY h3 X; Y: 12
Equation (12) is the Gauss equation with respect to the semi-symmetric non- metric connection ~r: Hence using (1), (11) and (12) we have3
r3 XY h3 X; Y rXY h X; Y ! YX
ÿg X; YUTÿ g X; YU? g X; YET g X; YE?:
13
So comparing the tangential and normal parts of equation (13), we obtain
r3 XY rXY ! YX ÿ g X; YUT g X; YET 14
and
h3 X; Y h X; Y ÿ g X; YU? g X; YE?: 15
If h3 0;then M is called totally geodesic with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection (see Agashe & Cha¯e, 1994).
From equation (12), we have
T3 X; Y r3 XY ÿ r3 YX ÿ X; Y ! YX ÿ ! XY; 16
where T3 is the torsion tensor of Mwith respect to r3and X; Y are vector ®elds tangent to M: Moreover using equation (14), we have
r3 Xg
Y; Z r3 Xg Y; Z ÿ g r3 XY; Z ÿ g Y; r3 XZ
ÿ Yg X; Z ÿ Zg X; Y;
17
for all vector ®elds X; Y; Z tangent to M:In view of equations (1), (14), (16) and (17), we can state the following theorem:
Theorem 1. The induced connection r3 on a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold admitting the semi-symmetric non-metric connection in the sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000) is also a semi-symmetric non-metric connection.
Let Ef 1; E2; :::; Engbe an orthonormal basis of the tangent space of M:We de®ne the mean curvature vector H3 of M with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection r3 by
H3 1 n
Xn
i1h3 Ei; Ei;
(see Agashe & Cha¯e, 1994).So from equation (15) we ®nd
H3 H ÿ U? E?:
If H3 0 then M is called minimal with respect to the semi-symmetric metric connection (see Agashe & Cha¯e, 1994).
So we have the following result:
Theorem 2. Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold ~M with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r in the3 sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000).Then
i) M is totally geodesic with respect to the Levi-Civita connection and with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection if and only if the vector ®elds ~U and ~E are tangent to M or U? E?:
ii) The mean curvature normal of M and that of M with respect to the semi- symmetric non-metric connection coincide if and only if the vector ®elds ~U and ~E are tangent to M or U? E?: Hence M is minimal with respect to the Levi-Civita connection and with respect to the semi-symmetric non- metric connection if and only if the vector ®elds ~U and ~E are tangent to M or U? E?:
Let be a normal vector ®eld on M: From (1), we have
~3
rX ~rX ! X: 18
It is well-known that
r~
X ÿAX r?X; 19
which is the Weingarten formula for a submanifold of a Riemannian manifold, where Ais the shape operator of M in the direction of : So from (19), equation (18) can be written as
~3
rX ÿAX r?X ! X: 20
Now we de®ne a 1; 1ÿtensor ®eld Aon M by
A3 Aÿ ÿ ! 1
I: 21
Then equation (20) turns into
~3
rX ÿ A3 X r?X: 22
Equation (22) is the Weingarten's formula with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r: Since A3 is symmetric, it is easy to see that
g A3 X; Y
g X; A 3 Y
and
g A3 ; A3

g A2 ; A3
ÿ X; Y1
; 23
where A3 ; A3
h i
A3 A3 ÿ A3 A3 and A2 ; A3
AAÿ AA and ; are unit normal vector ®elds on M:
So we can state the following theorem:
Theorem 3. Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold ~M with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r in the3 sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000).Then the shape operators with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection are simultaneously diagonalizable if and only if the shape operators with respect to the Levi-Civita connection are simultaneously diagonalizable.
By a similar proof of Theorem 3.3 in Agashe & Cha¯e (1994), we have the following theorem:
Theorem 4. Principal directions of the unit normal vector ®eld with respect to the Levi-Civita connection and the semi-symmetric non-metric connection in the sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000) coincide, and the principal curvatures are equal if and only if is orthogonal to U?:
GAUSS, CODAZZI AND RICCI EQUATIONS WITH RESPECT TO SEMI-SYMMETRIC NON-METRIC CONNECTION
We denote the curvature tensor of a submanifold M of a Riemannian manifold M with respect to the induced semi-symmetric non-metric connection r~ 3 and the induced Riemannian connection r by
R3 X; YZ r3 Xr3 YZ ÿ r3 Yr3 XZ ÿ r3 X;YZ 24
and
R X; YZ rXrYZ ÿ rYrXZ ÿ rX;YZ;
respectively, where X; Y; Z are tangent vector ®elds on M:
From equations (12) and (20) we get
~3
rXr~3YZ r3 Xr3 YZ h3 X; r3 YZ ÿ A
h3 Y;ZX
r?Xh3 Y; Z ! 3 Y; ZX; 25
~3
rYr~3XZ r3 Yr3

h3 X;ZY
r?Yh3 X; Z ! 3 X; ZY
26
and
~3
rX;YZ r3 X;YZ h3 X; Y; Z: 27
Hence in view of (24), from (25)-(27), we have
R3~ X; YZ R3 X; YZ h3X; r3 YZ
ÿ h3Y; r3 XZ
ÿ h3 X; Y ; Z
ÿAh3 Y;ZX A
h3
X;ZY r?Xh3 Y; Z ÿ r?Yh3 X; Z

28
Since, g AX; Y g h X; Y; ; using (15) we ®nd
R3~ X; Y; Z; W R3 X; Y; Z; W ÿ g h Y; Z; h X; W g h X; Z; h Y; W

! E g Y; Zg X; W ÿ g X; Zg Y; W?
! U g X; Zg Y; W ÿ g Y; Zg X; W? ;
29
where W is a tangent vector ®eld on M:
From (28), the normal component of ~R3 X; YZ is given by
h3X; r3 YZ
ÿ h3Y; r3 XZ
ÿ h3 X; Y ; Z r?Xh3 Y; Z ÿ r?Yh3 X; Z
r3Xh3
Y; Z ÿ r3Yh3 X; Z

;
30
where
3 rXh3
Y; Z r?Xh3 Y; Z ÿ h3r3 XY; Z
ÿ h3Y; r3 XZ :

r is the connection in TM 8 T built with r3 and r?: It can be called the van der Waerden-Bortolotti connection with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection.Equation (30) is the equation of Codazzi with respect to the semi- symmetric non-metric connection.
From equations (22) and (12), we get
~3
rXr~3Y ÿ r3 X A 3 Y
ÿ h3 X; A 3 Y
ÿ A3 r?
YX r?Xr?Y; 31
~3
rYr~3X ÿ r3 Y A 3 X
ÿ h3 Y; A 3 X
ÿ A3 r?
XY r?Yr?X 32
and
~3
rX;Y ÿ3X; Y r?X;Y: 33
So using (31)-(33), we have
R3~ X; Y; ; R? X; Y; ; ÿ g h3 X; A 3 Y
;
g h3 Y; A 3 X
;
;
where ; are unit normal vector ®elds on M: Hence in view of (15) and (21) the last equation turns into
R3~ X; Y; ; R? X; Y; ; ÿ g h X; Aÿ Y1
ÿ ; 1
g h Y; Aÿ X1
ÿ ; 1
; which is equivalent to
R3~ X; Y; ; R? X; Y; ; g Aÿ Aÿ AA1
ÿ X; Y1
R? X; Y; ; g A2 ; A3
ÿ X; Y1
:
34
Equation (34) is the equation of Ricci with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection.
Now assume that ~M is a space of constant curvature c with the semi- symmetric non-metric connection ~r: Then
R3~ X; YZ c g Y; ZX ÿ g X; ZY ÿ s Y; ZX s X; ZY
g Y; Z X; ~ÿ E ÿ X; ~U1 ÿg X; Z Y; ~ÿ E ÿ Y; ~U1 :
35
Hence
R3~ X; YZ
?
g Y; Z X; ~ E?ÿ X; ~U? ÿg X; Z Y; ~ E?ÿ Y; ~U?
;
which gives us
R3~ X; YZ

g Y; Z h X; E8 T r?X
E?ÿ h X; UT ÿ r?XU?
! X ÿ X U ?ÿ E?g ÿ g X; Z h Y; E8 T r?Y
E?ÿ h Y; UT ÿ r?YU?
! Y ÿ Y U ?ÿ E?g:
So the Ricci equation becomes
3 rXh3
Y; Z ÿ r3Yh3
X; Z ! Y h3 X; Z ÿ ! X h3 Y; Z
g Y; Z h X; E8 T r?X
E?ÿ h X; UT ÿ r?XU?
! X ÿ X U ?ÿ E?g ÿg X; Z h Y; E8 T r?Y
E?ÿ h Y; UT ÿ r?YU?
! Y ÿ Y U ?ÿ E?g:
Since ~M is a space of constant curvature c with the semi-symmetric non- metric connection, from (35), we have ~R3 X; Y; ; 0: Therefore using (34) and (23) we obtain
R? X; Y; ; g A2 ; A3
ÿ X; Y1
g Ah3 ;3i
X; Y :
Hence using (23), we can state the following theorem:
Theorem 5. Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional space of constant curvature ~M c with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r3 in the sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000).Then the normal connection r?is ¯at if and only if all second fundamental tensors with respect to the semi-symmetric non- metric connection and the Levi-Civita connection are simultaneously diagonalizable.
Now assume that X and Y are orthogonal unit tangent vector ®elds on M:
Then in view of (29) we can write
R3~ X; Y; Y; X R3 X; Y; Y; X ÿ g h Y; Y; h X; X
g h X; Y; h Y; X ! h X; X ÿ h X; X
! h Y; Y ! E ÿ ! U? ?:
So we get
K~3 K3 ÿ g h Y; Y; h X; X
g h X; Y; h Y; X ! h X; X ÿ h X; X
! h Y; Y ! E ÿ ! U? ?:
36
Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold ~M with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r3in the sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000) and be a subspace of the tangent space spanned by the orthonormal base X; Yf g: Denote by ~K3 and K3 the sectional curvatures of ~M and M at a point p 2 ~M; respectively with respect to the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r in the sense of Sengupta, De &3 Binh (2000).Let be a geodesic in ~M which lies in M;and T be a unit tangent vector ®eld of in M: Then from (15) we have
h T; T 0;
h3 T; T ÿU? E?: 37
Let be the subspace of the tangent space spanned by X; T;and ~U and ~E be vector ®elds tangent to M: Then from (37), we have h3 T; T 0: Hence using (36), we obtain
K~3 K3 g h X; T; h X; T:
Let X be a unit tangent vector ®eld on M which is parallel along in M:SorTX 0:
Hence we have the following theorem:
Theorem 6. Let M be an nÿdimensional submanifold of an n dÿdimensional Riemannian manifold ~M with the semi-symmetric non-metric connection ~r in the3 sense of Sengupta, De & Binh (2000), and be a geodesic in ~M which lies in M;
and T be a unit tangent vector ®eld of in M; be the subspace of the tangent space spanned by X; T: If the vector ®elds ~U and ~Eare tangent to M; then
i) K3~ K3 along .
ii) If Xis a unit tangent vector ®eld on M which is parallel along in M; then the equality case of (i) holds if and only if Xis parallel along in ~M:
