Abstract

In this paper we derive an integral formula on an $(n+3)$-dimensional, compact,minimal contact three $CR$-submanifold $M$ of $(p-1)$ contact three $CR$-dimension immersed in a unit $(4m+3)$-sphere $S^{4m+3}$. Using this integral formula, we give a sufficient condition concerning the scalar curvature of $M$ in order that such a submanifold $M$ is to be a generalized Clifford torus.

Keywords: unit (4m+3)-sphere, Sasakian $3$-structure, contact three $CR$-submanifold, scalar curvature
