Abstract

In this paper, we study coisotropic submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold. We investigate the integrability condition of the screen distribution and give a necessary and sufficient condition on Ricci tensor of a coisotropic submanifold to be symmetric. Finally, we present some new theorems and results about totally umbilical coisotropic submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold

We investigate the integrability condition of the screen distribution and give a necessary and sufficient condition on Ricci tensor of a coisotropic submanifold to be symmetric. Finally, we present some new theorems and results about totally umbilical coisotropic submanifolds of a semi-Riemannian manifold
