Certain basic inequalities for submanifolds in a (κ, µ)-contact space form ∗ † Mukut Mani Tripathi, Jeong-Sik Kim and Jaedong Choi Abstract. Certain basic inequalities between intrinsic and extrinsic invari- ants for a submanifold in a (κ, µ)-contact space form are obtained. As appli- cations we get some results for invariant submanifolds in a (κ, µ)-contact space form. Mathematics Subject Classification. 53C40 (53C25, 53C42, 53D10). Keywords and Phrases.

Chen established a sharp inequality for a submanifold in a real space form involving intrinsic invariants, namely the sectional curvatures and the scalar curvature of the submanifold; and the main extrinsic invariant, namely the squared mean curvature. Similar inequalities were established in case of submanifolds of Sasakian space forms also ([2],[6]). Recently, T. Koufogiorgos introduced the notion of (κ, µ)-contact space form ([7]), which contains the well known class of Sasakian space forms for κ = 1. Thus it is worthwhile to study relationships between intrinsic and extrinsic invariants of submanifolds in a (κ, µ)-contact space form. The paper is organized as follows. Section 2 contains necessary details about (κ, µ)-contact space form and its submanifolds. In section 3, we state a Lemma relating scalar curvature, squared mean curvature and squared second fundamental form for a submanifold tangential to the structure vector field in a (κ, µ)-contact space form, then we obtain two basic inequalities involving the scalar curvature and the sectional curvatures of the submanifold on left hand side and the
