Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book contains an up-to-date survey and self-contained chapters on contact slant submanifolds and geometry, authored by internationally renowned researchers. The notion of slant submanifolds was introduced by Prof. B.Y. Chen in 1990, and A. Lotta extended this notion in the framework of contact geometry in 1996. Numerous differential geometers have since obtained interesting results on contact slant submanifolds. The book gathers a wide range of topics such as warped product semi-slant submanifolds, slant submersions, semi-slant ξ┴ -, hemi-slant ξ┴ -Riemannian submersions, quasi hemi-slant submanifolds, slant submanifolds of metric f-manifolds, slant lightlike submanifolds, geometric inequalities for slant submanifolds, 3-slant submanifolds, and semi-slant submanifolds of almost paracontact manifolds. The book also includes interesting results on slant curves and magnetic curves, where the latter represents trajectories moving on a Riemannian manifold under the action of magnetic field. It presents detailed information on the most recent advances in the area, making it of much value to scientists, educators and graduate students.
