Purpose

The central idea of this research article is to examine the characteristics of Clairaut submersions from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds of type (α, β) and also, to enhance this geometrical analysis with some specific cases, namely Clairaut submersion from Lorentzian α-Sasakian manifold, Lorentzian β-Kenmotsu manifold and Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold. Furthermore, the authors discuss some results about Clairaut Lagrangian submersions whose total space is a Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds of type (α, β). Finally, the authors furnished some examples based on this study.

Design/methodology/approach

This research discourse based on classifications of submersion, mainly Clairaut submersions, whose total manifolds is Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds and its all classes like Lorentzian Sasakian, Lorenztian Kenmotsu and Lorentzian cosymplectic manifolds. In addition, the authors have explored some axioms of Clairaut Lorentzian submersions and illustrates our findings with some non-trivial examples.

Findings

The major finding of this study is to exhibit a necessary and sufficient condition for a submersions to be a Clairaut submersions and also find a condition for Clairaut Lagrangian submersions from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds.

Originality/value

The results and examples of the present manuscript are original. In addition, more general results with fair value and supportive examples are provided.

The conception of Riemannian immersion is studied extensively together with starting the study of Riemannian geometry. In fact, Riemannian manifolds are studied first as surfaces imbedded in R3. In 1956, Nash [1] proved that a revolution for Riemannian manifold that all Riemannian manifolds are isometrically embedded at any small part of Euclidean space. Consequently, the differential geometry of the Riemannian immersion is commonly noted, and it can be found in different text books such as ([2, 3]).

Contrastingly, “dual” concept of Riemannian immersions is one of the famous research fields in differential geometry and is the theory of Riemannian submersions, which was first investigated by O’Neill [4] and Gray [5]. Watson [6] popularized the knowledge of Riemannian submersions considering almost Hermitian manifolds in terms of almost Hermitian submersions. Afterward, almost Hermitian submersions are discussed with in various subcategories of almost Hermitian manifolds. Also, Riemannian submersions are enhanced considering many subcategories of almost contact metric manifolds in terms of contact Riemannian submersions. Several materials about Riemannian, almost Hermitian or contact Riemannian submersions are available in reference [2].

Most of the research linked to the theory of anti-invariant Riemannian, Lagrangian submersions and Clairaut anti-invariant submersions is available in Şahin’s book [3]. Afterward, several kinds of Riemannian submersions appeared, for example: semi-invariant, slant, pointwise-slant, semi-slant, hemi-slant and generic submersions. Most of the studies related to these can also be found in Şahin’s book [3].

In 1972, Bishop [7] proposed the concept and conditions of a Clairaut submersion in terms of a natural generalization of a surface of revolution. Under these circumstances, for every geodesic σ at the surface S, function γSinΘ is constant through σ, here γ is a metric between the point at surface and rotation axis, also Θ defines angle within σ and meridian through σ.

The concept of anti-invariant Riemannian and Clairaut anti-invariant submersion has been fitting a very progressive geometric analysis field since Şahin [8] essentially described such submersions of almost Hermitian manifolds on Riemannian manifolds. Indeed, anti-invariant Riemannian and Clairaut anti-invariant submersion have been examined in various types of geometrical manifolds, namely Kähler [8–10], almost product [11], Sasakian [12, 13], Kenmotsu [13], cosymplectic [30], paracosymplectic [14, 15] and trans-Sasakian manifolds [16–18]. Note that this concept of anti-invariant Riemannian submersion is generalized to conformal anti-invariant submersions [19–21].

In [22], Allison proposed Clairaut submersions in case the total manifold is Lorentzian. In addition, it is discovered that Clairaut submersions are used for static spacetime applications. Basically, a static spacetime can be considered as a Lorentzian manifold.

On the other hand, in 2013, De et al. [23] presented the concept of Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds. Trans-Sasakian structure together with Lorentzian metric can be applied naturally at the odd dimensional manifold. Motivated by above research studies mentioned in this paper, we have examined the Clairaut anti-invariant submersions from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds.

The work is ordered as follows. Section 2 presents basic notion and definition for Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds. Section 3 includes particular background of Riemannian submersions. Section 4 presents definition of anti-invariant and Lagrangian submersions. In section 5, we study anti-invariant submersions and Clairaut anti-invariant submersion from trans-Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds admitting horizontal Reeb vector field. In section 6, we deal with some axioms of Clairaut Lagrangian submersion and provide some examples and some of their characteristic properties.

A (2n + 1)-dimensional differentiable manifold M is named the Lorentzian Trans-Sasakian manifold [23] in case it allows (1, 1) tensor field ϕ, the global vector field ζ named Reeb vector field or contra-variant vector field, that is, in case η is a dual 1-form of ζ, and the Lorentzian metric g that satisfies [24].

(2.1)
(2.2)

where both U and V refer to any vector fields at M. Also, using previous axioms gives

(2.3)

Here, (ϕ, ζ, η, g) [23] is named Lorentzian structure of M. A Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifoldM also satisfies [25].

(2.4)

for functions α and β and D is Levi-Civita connection with respect to the Lorentzian metric g at M. Moreover, (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) is named the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold from type (α, β); for more details, see ([26]). It can be deduced from (2.1) that

(2.5)
Remark 1.

  1. If α = 0 and β ≠ 0(or β = 1), therefore the manifold turns into the Lorentzianβ-Kenmotsu manifold (or Lorentzian Kenmotsu manifold) [23].

  2. If α ≠ 0(or α = 1) and β = 0, therefore this manifold turns into the Lorentzianα-Sasakian manifold (or Lorentzian Sasakian manifold) [23].

  3. In case α = 0 and β, therefore, the manifold turns into the Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold [23].

An essential background of Riemannian submersions is given at this part.

Suppose (M, g) and (N, gN) are Riemannian manifolds, such that dim(M) > dim(N). The subjective mapping ψ: (M, g) → (N, gN) is named the Riemannian submersion [4] if:

  • (S1) The rank(ψ) = dim(N).

Therefore, for all q ∈ N, ψ1(q)=ψq1 is the k-dimensional submanifold of M and is named the fiber, with

The vector field at M is named vertical (resp. horizontal) in case it is still as a tangent (orthogonal) relating to the fibers. The vector field X at M is named basic in case X is horizontal and ψ-connecting to the vector field X* at N, which means ψ*(Xp) = Xψ(p) for any p ∈ M, where ψ* is derivative or differential map of ψ. V and H define the projections at vertical distribution kerψ* and horizontal distribution kerψ*, in the same order. Usually, a manifold (M, g) is named the total manifold and (N, gN) is named base manifold of the submersion ψ: (M, g) → (N, gN).

  • (S2)ψ* preserves the lengths of horizontal vectors.

This condition is equivalent to say that the derivative map ψ* of ψ, restricted to kerψ*, is the linear isometry. The geometrical description of Riemannian submersions is represented by O’Neill’s tensors T and A, determined as:

(3.1)
(3.2)

for any vector fields E1 and F1 at M, with D is Levi-Civita connection of g. Clearly, TE1 in addition to AE1 are skew-symmetric operators at tangent bundle of M reversing vertical and the horizontal distributions. To sum up, tensor fields properties T as well as A, Suppose V1, W1 are vertical and X1, Y1 are horizontal vector fields at M, therefore

(3.3)
(3.4)

On the other hand, from (3.1) and (3.2), we obtain

(3.5)
(3.6)
(3.7)
(3.8)

where D^V1W1=VDV1W1. Moreover, if X1 is basic, then we have HDV1X1=AX1V1. It appears that T is acting at fibers as second fundamental form, whereas A is acting at horizontal distribution and measuring obstruction to integrability of the distribution. Further details are given in the paper of O’Neill [4] in addition to this book [2].

At the end, the concept of second fundamental form of the map within Riemannian manifolds is recalled. Suppose (M, g) and (N, gN) are Riemannian manifolds and f: (M, g) → (N, gN) is the smooth map. Therefore, second fundamental form of f is written as

(3.9)

for U, V ∈ Γ(TM), with ∇f defining the pull-back connection, and D defines the Riemannian connections of the metrics g and gN. Symmetry is widely known property of second fundamental form, and further, f is named totally geodesic [31] in case (Df*)(E,F)=0 for any U, V ∈ Γ(TM) (as in [19, p. 119]), and f is named the harmonic map [29] in case trace(Df*)=0 (as in [19, p. 73]).

We first recall idea of an anti-invariant Riemannian submersion where its total manifold is the almost contact metric manifold.

Definition 4.1.

([18, 27]) LetMbe (2n + 1)-dimensional almost contact metric manifold among almost contact metric constructor (ϕ, ζ, η, g) andNis the Riemannian manifold among Riemannian metricgN. Considering there is Riemannian submersionψ: MNwhere vertical distributionkerψ*defines anti-invariant with respect toϕ, which means,ϕkerψ*kerψ*. Therefore, Riemannian submersionπ is named the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion. Similar submersions are called the anti-invariant submersions.

Here, horizontal distribution kerψ* is given as.

(4.1)

with μ refers to orthogonal complementary distribution of ϕkerψ* at kerψ*, and it is invariant with respect to ϕ.

It is said that the anti-invariant ψ: MNallows vertical Reeb vector field in case Reeb vector field ξ is tangent to kerψ* and allows horizontal Reeb vector field in case Reeb vector field ξ is normal to kerψ*. Clearly, μ includes Reeb vector field ξ if ψ: MN allows horizontal Reeb vector field ξ.

Now, we begin to study anti-invariant submersions admitting vertical Reeb vector field from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) of type (α, β) using (nontrivial) example.

Example 4.2.

SupposeMis three-dimensional Euclidean space written as

We consider the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure (ϕ, ζ, η, g) atMwithα=12z20andβ=1z0 [23] given by the following:

and ϕ is (1, 1) tensor field denoted as ϕ(E1) = − E2, ϕ(E2) = − E1, ϕ(E3) = 0.

An orthonormal ϕ-basis of this structure is written as

Here, the map ψ:(M,ϕ,ξ,η,g)(R,g1) is introduced as:

where g1 is Lorentzian metric on R. Therefore, Jacobian matrix of ψ is given as:

Since the rank of this matrix equals 1, the map π is the submersion. Using some calculation leads to

and

Immediate calculations show that ψ ensures the condition (S2). Thus, ψ is the Riemannian submersion. Moreover, we got ϕ(U) = W. Therefore, ψ is the anti-invariant submersion admitting vertical Reeb vector field.

Remark.

Throughout this research, as a total manifold of an anti-invariant submersion, let us consider a Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) of type (α, β) such that bothα ≠ 0 andβ ≠ 0.

Notion of Lagrangian submersion is considered the specific case from notion of anti-invariant submersion. We next recall the definition of the Lagrangian submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold.

Definition 4.3.

([12]) Letψbe the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from the almost contact metric manifold (M, ϕ, ξ, η, g) on the Riemannian manifold (N, gN). In caseμ = {0} orμ = span{ξ}, i.e.kerψ*=ϕ(kerψ*)orkerψ*=ϕ(kerψ*)<ξ>, in the same order, thereforeψis called the Lagrangian submersion.

Let ψ is the anti-invariant submersion from the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) on the Riemannian manifold (N, gN). For any X1kerψ*, we write

(4.2)

with BXΓ(kerπ*) and CXΓ(kerπ*).

Definition 4.4.

([7]) SupposeSis the revolution surface atR3with rotation axisL. For allqS, whereγ(q) represents the distance betweenqandL. Choosing the geodesicσ:URSonS, Suppose Θ(l) is an angle betweenσ(l) and the meridian curve throughσ(l),l ∈ U. By the famous Clairaut’s theorem, we know that for all geodesicsσonS, the productγSinΘ is constant alongσ, which means the independence ofl.

Using geometrical analysis of Riemannian submersions, Bishop [7] described the idea of Clairaut submersion as follows.

Definition 4.5.

([7]) The Riemannian submersionψ: MNis known as the Clairaut submersion in case there is positive functionγatM,that is, for all geodesicsσatM, the function (γ˚σ)SinΘ is constant, where, for alll, Θ(l) is an angle withinσ^(l)and horizontal spaceσ(l).

Bishop also provided the necessary and sufficient condition for the Riemannian submersion turns into the Clairaut submersion as follows.

Theorem 4.6.

([7]) Letψ: MNbe the Riemannian submersion with connected fibers. Thereforeψis the Clairaut submersion withγ = exp(ω) if and only if all fibers are totally umbilical and have the mean curvature vector fieldH=Dω, whereDωis gradient of the functionω with respect tog.

The anti-invariant submersions are studied in this part from trans-Sasakian manifolds conceding horizontal Reeb vector field. First, the modern necessary and sufficient condition for similar submersions turns into a Clairaut submersion, and then a few distinctive outcomes for this sort of submersions are shown.

We observe from Definition 4.5, the source of the knowledge of a Clairaut submersion comes from geodesic on its total space. As a result, the necessary and sufficient condition of the curve on total space explored remains geodesic.

Now, the following results are given:

Theorem 5.1.

Letψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invaraint Riemannian submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. In caseσ:URMis regular curve andV1(l) in addition toZ1(l) defines vertical and horizontal components of the tangent vector fieldσ^(l)=Gofσ(l), in the same order, thereforeσis geodesic if and only if throughσthe following equation

(5.1)
(5.2)

hold, wheresis constant speed ofσ.

Proof.In view of Eqn (2.4), we find

(5.3)

Since σ^=V1+Z1, g(σ^,σ^)=s, and η(V1) = 0, we can note

(5.4)

Now, from a straight forward calculation, we find

(5.5)

In fact η (V1) = 0. By using Eqns (3.3), (3.4), (3.5) and (3.6), we find

(5.6)

Now capturing the vertical and horizontal components from Eqn (5.6), we find the following equations:

(5.7)

and

(5.8)

From equations (5.7) and (5.8), it is simply observed that σ is geodesic if and only if (5.1) and (5.2) hold. □

Using Theorem (5.1) in addition to Remark (1), the following corollaries are obtained.

Corollary 5.2.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invaraint Riemannian submersion from Lorentzianα-Sasakian manifold of type (α, 0) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. In caseσ:URMis regular curve andV1(l) in addition toZ1(l) defines vertical and horizontal components of tangent vector fieldσ^(l)=Gofσ(l), in the same order, thereforeσis geodesic if and only if throughσthe following equations

(5.9)
(5.10)
maintain, wheresis constant speed ofσ.
Corollary 5.3.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from Lorentzianβ-Kenmotsu manifold of type (0, β) onto the Riemannian manifold admitting horizontal Reeb vector field. In caseσ:URMis the regular curve andV1(l) in addition toZ1(l) defines vertical and horizontal components of tangent vector fieldσ^(l)=Gofσ(l), in the same order, thereforeσis geodesic if and only if throughσthe following equation

(5.11)
(5.12)
hold, wheresis constant speed ofσ.
Corollary 5.4.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is an anti-invaraint Riemannian submersion from Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold of type (0, 0) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. Ifσ:URMis the regular curve andV1(l) in addition toZ1(l) defines vertical and horizontal components of the tangent vector fieldσ^(l)=Gofσ(l), in the same order, thereforeσis geodesic if and only if throughσthe following equation

(5.13)
(5.14)
hold, wheresis constant speed ofσ.
Theorem 5.5.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. Thereforeψis Clairaut submersion withγ = exp(ω) if and only if throughσ

(5.15)
holds, whereV1(l) andZ1(l) are vertical and horizontal components of the tangent vector fieldσ^(l)of the geodesicσ(l) atM, in the same order.

Proof. Consider σ(l) as the geodesic having the speed s at M, therefore,

(5.16)

Now, from Eqn (5.16), we achieve that

(5.17)

where Θ(l) is the angle within σ^(l) and horizontal space at σ(l). Now, by the derivative of first part of Eqn (5.17), we find

(5.18)

Using the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure, we find

(5.19)

Once again, from Eqn (2.4), we have

(5.20)

Hence,

(5.21)

since η(V) = 0, g(ϕV1, ζ) = 0 and using the fact that ϕV1 is horizontal.

Thus, from Eqn (5.19), we obtain

(5.22)

From Eqn (5.2), we find along σ,

(5.23)

since g(ϕV1, ζ) = 0.

On contrary, ψ is Clairaut submersion with γ = exp(ω) if and only if

(5.24)

Now, taking the product of Eqn (5.24) with nonzero factor vSinΘ, we find

(5.25)

Using equations (5.23) and (5.24), we obtain

(5.26)

In fact dωdl[σ(l)]=σ^[ω]=g(Dω,σ^)=g(Dω,Z1), the expression (5.29) follows from (5.26). □

Now, the following corollaries are given:

Corollary 5.6.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from Lorentzianα-Sasakian manifold of type (α, 0) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. Thereforeψis Clairaut submersion withγ = exp(ω) if and only if throughσ

(5.27)
holds, whereV1(l) andZ1(l) are vertical and horizontal components of the tangent vector fieldσ^(l)of the geodesicσ(l) atM, in the same order.
Corollary 5.7.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from Lorentzianβ-Kenmotsu manifold of type (0, β) onto the Riemannian manifold allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. Thereforeψis Clairaut submersion withγ = exp(ω) if and only if throughσ

(5.28)
holds, whereV1(l) andZ1(l) are vertical and horizontal components of tangent vector fieldσ^(l)of the geodesicσ(l) atM, in the same order.
Corollary 5.8.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the anti-invariant Riemannian submersion from Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold of type (α, β) onto the Riemannian manifold admitting horizontal Reeb vector field. Thereforeψis Clairaut submersion withγ = exp(ω) if and only if alongσ

(5.29)
holds, whereV1(l) andZ1(l) are vertical and horizontal components of the tangent vector fieldσ^(l)of the geodesicσ(l) atM, in the same order.

Now, from Eqn (5.29), we also obtain the following conclusion.

Corollary 5.9.

Supposeψis the Clairaut anti-invariant submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) of type (α, β) on the Riemannian manifold (N, gN). Therefore,

(5.30)

Proof. Since ζ is a horizontal Reeb vector field. Setting Z1 = ζ and using the fact dωdl[σ(l)]=σ^[ω]=g(Dω,σ^)=g(Dω,Z1), the expression (5.26) gives (5.30). □

Corollary 5.10.

Supposeψis the Clairaut anti-invariant submersion from Lorentzianα-Sasakian (or Lorentzian Sasakian) manifold (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) of type (α, 0) onto the Riemannian manifold (N, gN). Therefore,

(5.31)

Proof. Since for Lorentzian α-Sasakian (or Lorentzian Sasakian) β = 0, and using similar fact as we have used in proof of Corollary 5.9 together, we find the desired result. □

Theorem 5.11.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is a Clairaut anti-invariant submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) onto a Riemannian manifold admitting horizontal Reeb vector field withγ = exp(ω). Then we have

(5.32)
forG1 ∈ Γ(μ) andV1 ∈ (kerψ*) such thatϕV1is basic vector.

Proof. Suppose ψ is the Clairaut anti-invariant submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from a Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold onto a Riemannian manifold with γ = exp(ω). Now, by consequences of Theorem (4.6), we find

(5.33)
for U1, G1 ∈ (kerψ*). If we spread Eqn (5.33) with ϕV1, V1 ∈ (kerψ*) such that ϕV1 is basic and using Eqn (3.3), we find
(5.34)
(5.35)

In fact g(G1, ϕV1) = 0. Through Eqn (2.4), we infer

(5.36)

Adopting the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure, we notice

(5.37)

Once again, adopting (3.3), we turn up

(5.38)

Henceforth, through Eqn (5.33), we attain

(5.39)

Putting U1 = V1 and shifting U1 with by G1 in Eqn (5.39), we acquire

(5.40)

Adopting Eqn (5.39) with setting V1 = U1, we have

(5.41)

On the contrary, involving Eqn (2.4), we turn up

(5.42)

for W1 ∈ Γ(μ) and W1ζ. Using Eqn (2.5), we get

(5.43)

Adopting equations (3.3) and (5.33), we get

(5.44)

After all ϕV1 is basic vector and using the case that HDG1ϕV1=AϕV1G1, we turn up

(5.45)

Involving again, Eqns (5.44), (5.45) and the skew-symmetric nature of A, we turn up

(5.46)

By reason of AϕV1ϕW1, G1 and V1 are vertical and ω is horizontal, we turn up expression (5.32).

Particularly if Dωϕ(kerψ*), then from (5.41) in proof of Theorem 5.11 and the equality case of Schwarz inequality, we have have that□

Corollary 5.12.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut Lagrangian submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) onto a Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω). IfDωϕ(kerψ*), then eitherωis constant onϕ(kerψ*) or fiber ofψis one-dimensional.

This section deals with some results of Clairaut Lagrangian submersions conceding with horizontal Reeb vector field. Moreover, when the function ω is constant, Dω=0. Thus by Theorem 4.6 and Corollary 5.12, we have the following results.

Corollary 6.1.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is a Clairaut anti-invariant submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) on the Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω) anddim(kerψ*) > 1, then fibers ofψare totally geodesic if and only if

forV1 ∈ (kerψ*),ϕV1is basic andZ1 ∈ μ.

Moreover, in case the submersion ψ at Theorem (5.11) is Lagrangian submersion, therefore AϕV1ϕZ1 is always vanish, because μ=0 or μ=spanζ. Also from Corollaries 5.9 and 5.10, we have Dωϕ(kerψ*). Hence, the following consequences of Theorem (5.11) and Corollary 5.12 are given.

Theorem 6.2.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut Lagrangian submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of type (α, β) onto a Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω). Therefore, fibers ofψcan be one-dimensional or totally geodesic.

Corollary 6.3.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut Lagrangian submersion admitting horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzianα-Sasakian manifold of type (α, 0) onto a Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω). Therefore fibers ofψcan be one-dimensional or totally geodesic.

Corollary 6.4.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut Lagrangian submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzianβ-Kenmotsu manifold of type (0, β) onto a Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω). Therefore fibers ofψcan be one-dimensional or totally geodesic.

Corollary 6.5.

Supposeψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut Lagrangian submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field from Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold of type (α, β) onto a Riemannian manifold withγ = exp(ω). Therefore either fibers ofψcan be one-dimensional or totally geodesic.

The following result is Theorem 2 stated by Gauchman in [28].

Theorem 7.1.

Supposeψ; (M, g) → (N, gN) is the Clairaut submersion withγ, whereMis complete, connected and simply connected, andNis simply connected. Assume that any vertical leaf ofψhas no nontrivial Killing vector field. Supposepis the point ofM. ThereforeMis isometric to the warped productN ×fB, whereBis the vertical leaf throughpandf:NRis determined using this equationγ = f˚ψ.

In [23] De and Srakar prove that trans-Sasakian structures are complete and connected. Indeed, Riemannian manifold also preserved the characteristic of simple connectedness. Therefore, the following results are obtained.

Theorem 7.2.

ψ: (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g, α, β) → (N, gN) is a Clairaut Lagrangian submersion withγ, where (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g) is complete, connected, and simply connected Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold, and Riemannian manifold (N, gN) is simply connected. Assume that any vertical leaf ofψhas no nontrivial Killing vector field. Letpbe a point of (M, ϕ, ζ, η, g). Then Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold of (α, β) type is isometric to a warped productN ×fB, whereBis the vertical leaf throughpandf:NRis defined by the equationγ = f˚ψ.

Remark.

For particular values ofαandβeasily we can turn up the similar results likeTheorem (7.2)forα-Lorentzian Sasakian manifold (Lorentzian Sasakian manifold),β-Lorentzian Kenmotsu manifold (Lorentzian Kenmotsu manifold), and Lorentzian cosymplectic manifold.

Now, we describe some examples of Clairaut submersion from Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds (M, ϕ, ξ, η, g) of type (α, β).

Example 7.3.

SupposeMis three-dimensional Euclidean space written as

We consider the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure (ϕ, ξ, η, g, α, β) atMwithα = 0 andβ = 1 [23] given by the following:

and ϕ is the (1, 1) tensor field determined as

  • ϕ(E1) = − E2, ϕ(E2) = − E1, ϕ(E3) = 0. An orthonormal ϕ-basis of this constructor is written

as

Here, the map ψ:(M,ϕ,ξ,η,g,α,β)(R,g1) is written as:

where g1 is the usual metric at R. Now, by a straightforward computation, we turn up

and

Easily, we observe that ψ is the Riemannian submersion. Moreover, we have ϕ(U) = V. Therefore, ψ is the anti-invariant submersion allowing horizontal Reeb vector field. Particularly, ψ is Lagrangian submersion. Furthermore, after all the fibers of ψ are one-dimensional, then they are simply totally umbilical. At this point, it is proved that fibers are not considered totally geodesic, and it is found that the function of R3 obeying TU1U1=Dω. Therefore, after some sort of calculation, we turn up

(7.1)

Adopting the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure results in

Using (3.5), we turn up

For any function ω of (R3,ϕ,ζ,η,g), the gradient of ω with respect to the metric g is

Here, at this point, it is clear to observe that ω=z22 for the function of z and TU1U1=Dω=ζ. Also for any U2 ∈ (kerψ*), we have

Henceforth, using Theorem (5.26), the submersion ψ is Clairaut submersion.

Example 7.4.

SupposeMis three-dimensional Euclidean space written as

We consider the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure (ϕ, ξ, η, g, α, β) atMwithα = − 1 andβ = 0 given by the following:

and ϕ is (1, 1) tensor field determined as

  • ϕ(E1) = − E1, ϕ(E2) = − E2, ϕ(E3) = 0. An orthonormal ϕ-basis is written as

Moreover, we have

Here, the map ψ:(M,ϕ,ζ,η,g,α,β)(R,g1) is defined by the following:

where g1 is usual metric at R. Now, by a straightforward computation, we turn up
and

Easily, we observe that ψ is the Riemannian submersion. Moreover, we have ϕ(U) = V. Therefore, ψ is the anti-invariant submersion admitting horizontal Reeb vector field. Particularly, ψ is Lagrangian submersion. Furthermore, after all the fibers of ψ are one-dimensional, then they are simply totally umbilical. At this point, it is proved that fibers are not totally geodesic, and it is found that the function of R3 obeying TU1U1=Dω. Therefore, after some sort of calculation, we turn up

(7.2)

Adopting the Lorentzian trans-Sasakian structure, we observe that

Using (3.5), we turn up

For all functions ω at (R3,ϕ,ξ,η,g), the gradient of ω with respect to the metric gis
Now, at this point, it is clear to observe that ω = − 2z for the function of z and TU1U1=Dω=2ξ. Also for any U2 ∈ (kerψ*), we have

Henceforth, by Theorem (5.26), the submersion ψ is Clairaut submersion.
