Curvature Invariants on Partially Totally Real Submanifolds in Complex Space Forms
Kähler manifolds are the most studied complex manifolds. A Kähler manifold with constant holomorphic sectional curvature is said to be a complex space form. There are special classes of submanifolds in Kähler manifolds. Recently, Poyraz et al. defined partially totally real submanifolds in complex space forms. In the present paper, we study curvature invariants adapted to partially totally real submanifolds. First, we define a Riemannian invariant, denoted by extending the definition of Chen’s -invariant and estimate it in terms of the squared mean curvature. Furthermore, we obtain Chen–Ricci inequalities that distinguish between tangent directions in the two distributions. Finally, we prove a Chen first inequality for totally real two-plane sections.- 9 August 2026

Hineva and Chen-Ricci Inequalities for Ricci Curvature of Submanifolds of Product Generalized Sasakian Space Forms
The sectional curvature, Ricci curvature, and scalar curvature for a product generalized Sasakian space form are obtained. Furthermore, the Chen-Ricci inequality and the Hineva inequality are established for submanifolds of a product generalized Sasakian space form, including product Sasakian, product cosymplectic, and product Kenmotsu space forms. The equality cases are also discussed.

Intrinsic and Extrinsic Geometry of Kählerian Slant Submanifolds in Complex Space Forms
The study of complex space forms plays a central role in differential geometry, as these manifolds provide a natural framework for exploring geometric structures endowed with rich symmetries, extending both Riemannian and Kählerian geometries. In this paper, we extend the definition of Kählerian slant submanifolds when the ambient complex space form admits a quarter-symmetric connection. Furthermore, we establish sharp relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic geometric invariants of Kählerian slant submanifolds in complex space forms admitting a quarter-symmetric connection.

k-Almost Newton-Conformal Ricci Solitons on Hypersurfaces Within Golden Riemannian Manifolds with Constant Golden Sectional Curvature
The current work establishes the geometrical bearing for hypersurfaces in a Golden Riemannian manifold with constant golden sectional curvature with respect to k-almost Newton-conformal Ricci solitons. Moreover, we extensively explore the immersed r-almost Newton-conformal Ricci soliton and determine the sufficient conditions for total geodesicity with adequate restrictions on some smooth functions using mathematical operators. Furthermore, we go over some natural conclusions in which the gradient k-almost Newton-conformal Ricci soliton on the hypersurface of the Golden Riemannian manifold becomes compact. Finally, we establish a Schur’s type inequality in terms of k-almost Newton-conformal Ricci solitons immersed in Golden Riemannian manifolds with constant golden sectional curvature.

We consider the family of connections on a statistical manifold M equipped with a pair of conjugate connections and , where the connection is defined as . This paper develops expressions for the vertical and horizontal distributions on the tangent bundle of the statistical manifold and introduces the concept of -adapted frames. We also derive the Levi–Civita connection of the tangent bundle , which is equipped with the Cheeger Gromoll-type metric . We study the statistical structure on the tangent bundle , which is naturally induced from the statistical manifold . By introducing a para-holomorphic structure on the statistical manifold , we construct a para-Hermitian structure on the tangent bundle and examine its integrability. Finally, we present the conditions under which these bundles admit a para-holomorphic structure.- 24 May 2025

Chen-like Inequalities for Submanifolds in Kähler Manifolds Admitting Semi-Symmetric Non-Metric Connections
The geometry of submanifolds in Kähler manifolds is an important research topic. In the present paper, we study submanifolds in complex space forms admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. We prove the Chen–Ricci inequality, Chen basic inequality, and a generalized Euler inequality for such submanifolds. These inequalities provide estimations of the mean curvature (the main extrinsic invariants) in terms of intrinsic invariants: Ricci curvature, the Chen invariant, and scalar curvature. In the proofs, we use the sectional curvature of a semi-symmetric, non-metric connection recently defined by A. Mihai and the first author, as well as its properties.

(Almost) Ricci Solitons in Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie Groups
We study Lorentzian contact and Lorentzian–Sasakian structures in Hom-Lie algebras. We find that the three-dimensional and Heisenberg Lie algebras provide examples of such structures, respectively. Curvature tensor properties in Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie algebras are investigated. If v is a contact 1-form, conditions under which the Ricci curvature tensor is v-parallel are given. Ricci solitons for Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie algebras are also studied. It is shown that a Ricci soliton vector field is conformal whenever the Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie algebra is Ricci semisymmetric. To illustrate the use of the theory, a two-parameter family of three-dimensional Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie algebras which are not Lie algebras is given and their Ricci solitons are computed.Open Access(Almost) Ricci Solitons in Lorentzian–Sasakian Hom-Lie Groups
