The difference arises due to thefactthatinthefirstcase,thealmostcomplexstructureJ isanisometry with respect to the semi-Riemannian metric g of index 2q(0 < 2q < 2n) and in the second case, J is an anti-isometry with respect to the metric g, which is necessarily of signature (n,n). This property of the pair (J,g) January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 2 of an almost complex manifold with Norden metric M allows to define the tensorfield g onM by g(X,Y)=g(JX,Y), whichis aNordenmetric,too. LetM bearealm-dimensionalsubmanifoldofanalmostcomplexman- e e ifold witn Norden metric (M,J,g,g). The geometry of M depends on the behaviour of the tangent bundle of M with respect to the action of the e almost complex structure J and the induced metric on M. Due to that there exist two Norden metrics g and g of M we can consider two induced metrics g and g onM by g and g, respectively.For a submanifold M of M e three cases with respect to the induced metrics g and g on M are possible: e e M is non-degenerate with respect to both g and g; M is degenerate with e respect to both g and g; M is non-degenerate with respect to g (resp. g) e and degenerate with respect to g (resp. g). e e In this paper we consider mainly submanifolds of the third type. In e Sections 1 and 2 we recall some preliminaries about lightlike submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds and almost complex manifolds with Norden metric, respectively. The main results of the paper are given in Section 3. We prove that a necessary and sufficient condition for the submanifold (M,g) of M to be a CR-submanifold is (M,g) to be a Radical transversal lightlike submanifold of M. We obtain also that the submanifold (M,g) of e M isgeneric,totallyrealorLagrangianifandonlyif(M,g)isacoisotropic, anisotropicoratotallylightlikesubmanifoldofM,respectively.InSection e 4, in the case of totally real (M,g) and isotropic (M,g), relations between the induced geometric objects are found. The structure equations of these e submanifolds of a Kaehler manifold with Norden metric are obtained. In the last section we consider known matrix Lie subgroups of GL(2;C) as examples of the submanifolds introduced in Section 3. 1. Lightlike submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds Follow1 we give some basic notions and formulas for lightlike submanifolds of semi-Riemannian manifolds. Let (M,g) be a real (m +n)-dimensional semi-Riemannian manifold (m > 1, n 1), i.e. g is a semi-Riemannian metric of constant index ≥ q 1,...,m+n 1 and M be a submanifold of M of codimension n. ∈ { − } Denote by g the induced tensor field on M of g and suppose that rankg = const on M. If rankg = m, i.e. g is non-degenerate on the tangent bundle TM of M, then M is called a non-degenerate submanifold of M. In the case rankg < m, i.e. g is degenerate on TM, then M is called a lightlike submanifold of M.

However, if x M is a lightlike submanifold of M, both T M and T M⊥ are degenerate x x orthogonal, but non-complementary subspaces of T M and there exists a x subspace RadT M =T M T M⊥ =RadT M⊥, where x x x x ∩ RadT M = ξ T M :g(ξ ,X)=0, X T M . x x x x x { ∈ ∀ ∈ } The dimension of RadT M depends on x M. The submanifold M of M x ∈ is said to be an r-lightlike (an r-degenerate, an r-null) submanifold if the mapping RadTM :x M RadT M, x ∈ −→ defines a smooth distribution on M of rank r > 0 (it means dim(RadT M) = r for all x M). RadTM is called the Radical (light- x ∈ like, null) distribution on M. Let S(TM) be a complementary distribution of RadTM in TM and S(TM⊥) be a complementary vector bundle of RadTM in TM⊥. Both S(TM)andS(TM⊥)arenon-degeneratewithrespecttogandthefollowing decompositions are valid TM =RadTM S(TM), TM⊥ =RadTM S(TM⊥).

Almost complex manifolds with Norden metric Let (M,J,g) be a 2n-dimensional almost complex manifold with Norden metric3 ,i.e. J is analmostcomplex structureandg is ametric onM such that: 2 J X = X, g(JX,JY)= g(X,Y) (3) − − for arbitrary differentiable vector fields X,Y on M. The tensor field g of type (0,2) on M defined by e g(X,Y)=g(JX,Y) (4) is a Norden metric on M,etoo. Both metrics g and g are necessarily of signature (n,n). The metric g is saidto be anassociated metric ofM. The e Levi-Civitaconnectionofgisdenotedby .ThetensorfieldF oftype(0,3) e ∇ on M is defined by F(X,Y,Z)= g(( J)Y,Z).

A classification of the almost complex manifolds with e Norden metric with respect to the tensor F is given in3 and eight classes January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 5 areobtained.In4 theseclassesarecharacterizedbyconditionsforthetensor Φ, too. Analogously, as for an almost Hermitian manifold, for an almost com- plex manifold with Norden metric (M,J,g,g) the following important classes of non-degenerate submanifolds of M with respect to the induced e metric g (resp. g) on the submanifold can be considered: (a) M is callede a holomorphic (or an invariant) submanifold of M if J(T M) = T M, x M. The dimension m of an invariant submani- x x ∀ ∈ fold M of M is necessarily even; (b) M is called a totally real (or an anti-invariant) submanifold of M if J(T M) T M⊥, x M. In this case dimM =m n; x x ⊆ ∀ ∈ ≤ (c) A totally real submanifold M is called Lagrangian if dimM =m=n; (d) M is called a CR-submanifold of M if M is endowed with two comple- mentary orthogonal distributions D and D⊥ satisfying the conditions: J(D )=D and J(D⊥) T M⊥, x M; x x x ⊂ x ∀ ∈ (e) The CR-submanifold M of M is called a generic submanifold if dimD⊥ =codimM =2n m. − The CR-submanifold M of M is called non-trivial (proper) if dimD > 0 and dimD⊥ > 0. The holomorphic and the totally real submanifolds are particularcasesoftheclassofCR-submanifolds.Holomorphicsubmanifolds of almost complex manifolds with Norden metric were studied by K. Grib- achev. In5 ,6 and7 hypersurfaces of Kaehler manifolds with Norden metric were considered. 3. Submanifolds of an almost complex manifold with Norden metric which are non-degenerate with respect to the one Norden metric and lightlike with respect to the other Norden metric Let(M,J,g,g)bea2n-dimensionalalmostcomplexmanifoldwithNorden metric and M be an m-dimensional submanifold immersed by ϕ in M. e For simplicity we identify for each x M the tangent space T M with x ∈ ϕ (T M) T M. Let g and g be two metrics of M. We assume that x ϕ(x) ∗ ⊂ the immersionϕ is anisometrywith respectto both metrics g andg onM e and we identify the metrics g and g on M with the induced metrics on the e subspaceϕ (T M)ofg andg,respectively.Hence,foranyx M wehave x ∗ e ∈ g(X ,Y )=g(X ,Y ), eg(X ,Y )=g(X ,Y ), X ,Y T M. x x x x x x x x x x x ∀ ∈ e e January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 6 We note that TM = T M is the tangent bundle of both submanifolds x x∈SM (M,g) and (M,g) of M. We will denote: the normal bundle of (M,g) and e (M,g) by TM⊥ and TM⊥, respectively; an orthogonal direct sum with e respect to g (resp. g) by (resp. ) and a non-orthogonal direct sum by e ⊥ ⊥ (resp. ). ⊕ ⊕ e e In this section we give an answer to the question what type is the sub- e manifold (M,g) of M if (M,g) belongs to one of the basic classes of non- degenerate submanifolds. e Lemma 3.1. Let (V,J,g,g) be a 2n-dimensional almost complex vector spacewithNordenmetricandW bea2p-dimensionalholomorphic subspace e of V. Then for the induced metrics g and g on W of g and g respectively, we have e e 1) g is non-degenerate iff g is non-degenerate; 2) g is degenerate iff g is degenerate. e e Proof. 1)Let g be non-degenerate.We assume that g is degenerate.Then there exists ξ W, ξ = 0 such that g(ξ,X) = 0, X W. As W is a ∈ 6 ∀e ∈ holomorphic subspace of V and KerJ = 0 it follows that there exists e { } Jξ W,Jξ = 0 such that for X W we have g(Jξ,X) = g(Jξ,X) = ∈ 6 ∀ ∈ g(ξ,X) = g(ξ,X) = 0. So, we obtain that g is degenerate, which is a contradiction. Analogously, we can check that if g is non-degenerate, then e e g is non-degenerate, too. The truth of 2) follows from 1). e Theorem 3.1. Let (M,J,g,g) be a 2n-dimensional almost complex man- ifold with Norden metric and M be a 2p-dimensional submanifold of M. e The submanifold (M,g) is holomorphic iff the submanifold (M,g) is holo- morphic. e Proof. The proof of the theorem follows from assertion 1) of Lemma 3.1 by replacing the space V and the subspace W by the tangent bundle TM of M and the tangent bundle TM of the submanifolds (M,g) and (M,g), respectively. e Radical transversal lightlike submanifolds of indefinite Kaehler manifolds areintroducedin8 by Sahin. Further,we showthat suchsubmanifolds nat- urallyariseonanalmostcomplexmanifoldwithNordenmetricM andthey are related with CR-submanifolds of M. First, analogously as in8 we give the following January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 7 Definition 3.1. Let (M,g,S(TM),S(TM⊥)) be a lightlike submanifold of an almost complex manifold with Norden metric (M,J,g,g). We say that M is a Radical transversal lightlike submanifold of M if the following e conditions are satisfied: J(RadTM)=ltr(TM), (6) J(S(TM))=S(TM). (7) Moreover, we say that a Radical transversal lightlike submanifold M is proper if S(TM)=0. 6 It is important to note: (1) Taking into account that for an isotropic and a totally lightlike sub- manifold S(TM)=0 and Definition 3.1,it is clear that there exists no proper Radical transversal isotropic and totally lightlike submanifold of M. (2) Contrary to the case when M is a Radical transversal lightlike sub- manifold of an indefinite Kaehler manifold 8 , for an almost com- plex manifold with Nordenmetric (M,J,g,g), M canbe an1-lightlike Radical transversal lightlike submanifold of M. Indeed, let us suppose e that (M,g) is an 1-lightlike Radical transversal lightlike submanifold of (M,J,g,g). Then there exist basises ξ and N of RadTM and { } { } ltr(TM) respectively, such that g(ξ,N) = 1. On the other hand, (6) e implies that Jξ = αN Γ(ltr(TM)), α F(ltr(TM)). Thus, for the ∈ ∈ function α we obtain α=g(ξ,Jξ), which is not zero. Proposition 3.1. Let (M,g)be aRadical transversal lightlike submanifold of an almost complex manifold with Norden metric (M,J,g,g). Then the distribution S(TM⊥) is holomorphic with respect to J. e Proof. As the tangent bundle TM and the transversal vector bundle tr(TM) of (M,g) are complementary (but not orthogonal with respect to g)vectorsubbundles ofTM,foranyX Γ(TM)andanyV Γ(tr(TM)), ∈ ∈ we have JX =TX+FX; JV =tV +fV, (8) where TX,tV belong to Γ(TM) and FX,fV belong to Γ(tr(TM)). Then T andf areendomorphismsonTM andtr(TM),respectively;F andt are transversalbundle-valued1-formonTM andtangentbundle-valued1-form January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 8 on tr(TM), respectively. According to the decompositions (1), (2), we can write any X Γ(TM) and any V Γ(tr(TM)) in the following manner ∈ ∈ X =PX +QX; V =LV +SV, (9) where P and Q are the projection morphisms of TM on S(TM) and RadTM, respectively; L and S are the projection morphisms of tr(TM) onltr(TM)andS(TM⊥), repectively.So,for anyW ΓS(TM⊥) wehave ∈ JW =tW +fW =PtW +QtW +LfW +SfW. (10) Now, if X ΓS(TM), ξ Γ(RadTM), N Γ(ltr(TM)), using (2), (6), ∈ ∈ ∈ (7), (10) and J(ltr(TM))=RadTM, we compute 0=g(W,JX)=g(JW,X)=g(PtW,X), 0=g(W,Jξ)=g(JW,ξ)=g(LfW,ξ), (11) 0=g(W,JN)=g(JW,N)=g(QtW,N). Since g is non-degenerate on S(TM) and RadTM ltr(TM), from (11) it ⊕ follows that PtW = LfW = QtW = 0. Then (10) becomes JW = SfW, which means that S(TM⊥) is holomorphic. Theorem 3.2. Let (M,J,g,g) be a 2n-dimensional almost complex man- ifold with Norden metric and M be an m-dimensional submanifold of M. e The submanifold (M,g) is a CR-submanifold with an r-dimensional totally real distribution D⊥ iff (M,g) is an r-lightlike Radical transversal lightlike submanifold. e Proof. As far as we know, CR-submanifolds of almost complex manifolds with Norden metric are not studied. Therefore, first we give some prelimi- naries about them. Let(M,g)beaCR-submanifoldofM andassumethatitisnotgeneric. Hence, (M,g) is endowed with two complementary orthogonal with re- spect to g distributions D(dimD = 2p) and D⊥(dimD⊥ = r : 1 r < ≤ min(m,2n m)) such that JD = D, JD⊥ TM⊥. Following 9 , for any − ⊂ X Γ(TM) we have ∈ JX =TX+FX, (12) where TX is the tangentialpart of JX and FX is the normalpart of JX. Then T is anendomorphismonthe tangentbundle TM andF is a normal bundle-valued 1-form on TM. Similarly, for any V Γ(TM⊥) we have ∈ JV =tV +fV, (13) January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 9 where tV is the tangential part of JV and fV is the normal part of JV. Thenf isanendomorphismonthe normalbundle TM⊥ andt isatangent bundle-valued 1-form on TM⊥. If we denote by P and Q the projection morphisms of TM on D and D⊥ respectively, for any X Γ(TM) we can ∈ write X =PX +QX, (14) wherePX Γ(D)andQX Γ(D⊥).Using(12)and(13),for Y Γ(TM) ∈ ∈ ∈ and U Γ(TM⊥) we compute g(JX,Y) = g(TX,Y) and g(JV,U) = ∈ g(fV,U).SincethealmostcomplexstructureJ isananti-isometrywithre- specttotheNordenmetricsgandg,weobtainthatT andf areself-adjoint operators on TM and TM⊥ with respect to both metrics. We note that T e andf areskewself-adjoint 9 whenM isanalmostHermitianmanifold.We also find g(FX,V) = g(X,tV). Moreover, applying J to the equality (14) we obtain JX =JPX +JQX, (15) where JPX Γ(D) and JQX Γ(JD⊥). From (12) and (15) it follows ∈ ∈ thatT =JP andF =JQ.Due tothe factthatD⊥ isnon-degeneratewith respect to g, there exists an orthonormalbasis ξ ,...,ξ of D⊥, i.e. 1 r { } g(ξ ,ξ )=ǫ , ǫ = 1; g(ξ ,ξ )=0, i=j; i,j =1,2,...,r. (16) i i i i i j ± 6 Since KerJ = 0 , Jξ ,...,Jξ is a basis of JD⊥. Moreover, it is an 1 r { } { } orthonormalbasis such that g(Jξ ,Jξ )= ǫ ; g(Jξ ,Jξ )=0, i=j; i,j =1,2,...,r. (17) i i i i j − 6 Consequently,JD⊥ isanr-dimensionalnon-degeneratesubbundleofTM⊥ with respect to g and we put TM⊥ =JD⊥ (JD⊥)⊥, (18) ⊥ where (JD⊥)⊥ is the complementary orthogonalvectorsubbundle of JD⊥ in TM⊥. We denote by P and P the projection morphisms of TM⊥ on 1 2 JD⊥ and (JD⊥)⊥, respectively. Then for any V Γ(TM⊥) we put ∈ V =P V +P V, (19) 1 2 where P V Γ(JD⊥) and P V Γ((JD⊥)⊥). Now, we will show that 1 2 ∈ ∈ the subbundle (JD⊥)⊥ is holomorphic with respect to J. Take W ∈ Γ((JD⊥)⊥), X Γ(TM) and according to (15) we compute g(JW,X) = ∈ g(W,JX) = 0, which means that JW Γ(TM⊥). On the other hand, ∈ for each N Γ(JD⊥) we have JN Γ(D⊥), which implies g(JW,N) = ∈ ∈ January18,2012 1:36 WSPC-ProceedingsTrimSize:9inx6in GN 10 g(W,JN) = 0, i.e. JW Γ((JD⊥)⊥). We continue by proving that the e ∈ normalbundle TM⊥ ofthe submanifold(M,g)coincides with the subbun- dle D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥ of TM. First, let us suppose that Y Γ(D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥). ⊥ e ∈ ⊥ Thenfor X Γ(TM)using(15)wehaveg(X,Y)=g(JX,Y)=0.Hence, ∀ e ∈ Y Γ(TM⊥), i.e. the following relation holds ∈ e e D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥ TM⊥. (20) ⊥ ⊆ e Now, let Y Γ(TM⊥). Then Y Γ(TM) and g(X,Y) = 0 for ∈ ∈ X Γ(TM). The last is equivalent to g(X,JY) = 0 which shows that ∀ ∈ e JY Γ(TM⊥). Since (JD⊥)⊥ is holomorphic with respect to J, apply- ∈ ing J to (18) we obtain J(TM⊥) = D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥. So, we conclude that ⊥ Y Γ(D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥) and we have ∈ ⊥ e TM⊥ D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥. (21) ⊆ ⊥ e From(20)and(21)itfollowsthatTM⊥ =D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥.Further,forX ⊥ ∈ Γ(D), ξ Γ(D⊥) and W Γ((JD⊥)⊥), we get g(ξ,X) = g(Jξ,X) = 0, ∈ ∈ g(ξ,W)=g(Jξ,W)=0.ThelasttwoequalitiesshowthatD⊥isorthogonal e toDand(JD⊥)⊥ withrespecttog.Thenthefollowingdecompositionsare e valid e TM =D D⊥, (22) ⊥ e e TM⊥ =D⊥ (JD⊥)⊥. (23) ⊥ From (22) and (23) it is clear that theesmooth distribution D⊥ on (M,g) of rankr > 0 is an intersection of the tangent bundle TM and the normal e e bundle TM⊥ of (M,g). Hence, (M,g) is an r-lightlike submanifold of M with Radical distribution RadTM which coincides with D⊥. According e e to (22) and (23), the distribution D and the vector bundle (JD⊥)⊥ are a e screendistributionS(TM)andascreentransversalvectorbundleS(TM⊥) of(M,g),respectively.Thebasis ξ ,...,ξ ofD⊥ satisfying(16)isabasis 1 r { } ofRadTM andconsequentlywithrespecttog wehaveg(ξ ,ξ )=0forany i j e i,j = 1,...,r. We put N = ǫ Jξ , i = 1,...,r. Then N ,...,N is a i i i 1 r − e e { } basis of JD⊥ such that g(N ,N )= ǫ ǫ g(Jξ ,ξ )=0, i,j =1,...,r, (24) i j i j i j − e g(N ,ξ )=ǫ g(ξ ,ξ )=1; g(N ,ξ )=ǫ g(ξ ,ξ )=0; i,j =1,...,r. (25) i i i i i i j i i j Freom (24) it follows that JDe⊥ is a lightlike vector bundle with respect to g. The equalities (25) show that JD⊥ is not orthogonal to RadTM with e
