Slant Submanifolds of an Almost Product Riemannian Manifold

In this paper, we study both slant and semi-slant sub- manifolds of an almost product Riemannian manifold. We give characterization theorems for slant and semi-slant submanifolds and investigate special class of slant submanifolds which are product version of Kaehlerian slant submanifold. We also obtain integrabil- ity conditions for the distributions which are involved in the defl- nition of a semi-slant submanifold. Finally, we prove a theorem on the geometry of leaves of distributions under a condition.
