New results on totally umbilical lightlike submanifolds in semi-Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature, proving the symmetric nature of induced Ricci tensor based on screen distribution integrability.

Abstract

This paper provides new results on a class of totally umbilical lightlike submanifolds in semi-Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. We prove that the induced Ricci tensor of any such submanifold is symmetric if and only if its screen distribution is integrable.
