About this book
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.

Mohammad Hasan Shahid is Professor at the Department of Mathematics, Jamia Millia Islamia, New Delhi, India. He earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from Aligarh Muslim University, India, on the topic “On geometry of submanifolds” in 1988 under (Late) Prof. Izhar Husain. Earlier, he served as Associate Professor at King Abdul Aziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, from 2001 to 2006. He was a recipient of the postdoctoral fellowship from the University of Patras, Greece, from October 1997 to April 1998. He has published more than 100 research articles in various national and international journals of repute. Recently, he was awarded the Sultana Nahar Distinguished Teacher award of the Year 2017–2018 for his outstanding contribution to research. For research works and delivering talks, Prof. Shahid has visited several universities of the world: the University of Leeds, UK; the University of Montpellier, France; the University of Sevilla, Spain; Hokkaido University, Japan; Chuo University, Japan; and Manisa Celal Bayar University, Turkey.
Falleh Al-solamy is President at King Khalid University, Abha, Saudi Arabia. Earlier, he was Professor of Differential Geometry at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. He studied Mathematics at King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and earned his Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Wales Swansea, Swansea, UK, in 1998, under Prof. Edwin Beggs. His research interests concern the study of the geometry of submanifolds in Riemannian and semi-Riemannian manifolds, Einstein manifolds, and applications of differential geometry in physics.
