Abstract

In this article, we establish relations between the sectional curvature and the shape operator and also between the $k$-Ricci curvature and the shape operator for a slant submanifold in a Sasakian space form of constant $\varphi$- sectional curvature with arbitrary codimension.

Keywords: mean curvature, sectional curvature, shape operator, $k$-Ricci curvature, Sasakian space forms
