Contact CR $ \delta $-invariant: an optimal estimate for Sasakian statistical manifolds

Abstract

Chen (1993) developed the theory of $ \delta $-invariants to establish novel necessary conditions for a Riemannian manifold to allow a minimal isometric immersion into Euclidean space. Later, Siddiqui et al. (2024) derived optimal inequalities involving the CR $ \delta $-invariant for a generic statistical submanifold in a holomorphic statistical manifold of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. In this work, we extend the study of such optimal inequality to the contact CR $ \delta $-invariant on contact CR-submanifolds in Sasakian statistical manifolds of constant $ \phi $-sectional curvature. This paper concludes with a summary and final remarks.
