We mainly focus on quasi bi-slant submersions from cosymplectic manifolds. We give some non-trivial examples and study the geometry of leaves of distributions which are involved in the definition of the submersion. Moreover, we find some conditions for such submersions to be integrable and totally geodesic.</p> Rajendra Prasad Mehmet Akif Akyol Sushil Kumar Punit Kumar Singh Copyright (c) 2022 R.

Assume that the analytic representation of $$G$$ is irreducible. We give a classification of the pairs $$(A,G)$$ such that the quotient $$A/G$$ is smooth. In particular, we prove that $$A=E^2$$ with $$E$$ an elliptic curve and that $$A/G\simeq\mathbb P^2$$ in all cases. Moreover, for fixed $$E$$, there are only finitely many pairs $$(E^2,G)$$ up to isomorphism. This fills a small gap in the literature and completes the classification of smooth quotients of abelian varieties by finite groups fixing the origin started by the first two authors.</p> Robert Auffarth Giancarlo Lucchini Arteche Pablo Quezada Copyright (c) 2022 R.

The concept was introduced by G. Chartrand <em>et al.</em> and they proved that every two nonempty graphs have a least common multiple. Least common multiple of two graphs need not be unique. In fact two graphs can have an arbitrary large number of least common multiples. In this paper graphs that have a unique least common multiple with $$P_3 \cup K_2$$ are characterized.<span class="Apple-converted-space">&nbsp;</span></p> Reji T. Jinitha Varughese Ruby R.

We have shown that the warped product of the type $$M = D_{\perp}{\times}{_{y}}{D}_{T}$$ does not exist, where $$D_{\perp}$$ and $$D_{T}$$ are invariant and anti-invariant submanifolds of a quasi-Sasakian manifold $$\bar{M}$$, respectively. Moreover we have obtained characterization results for CR-submanifolds to be locally CR-warped products.</p> Shamsur Rahman Copyright (c) 2022 S.
