Abstract

In this paper we consider contact CR-warped product submanifolds of the type $M = N_T\times_f N_\perp$, of a nearly Kenmotsu generalized Sasakian space form $\bar M(f_1‎, ‎f_2‎, ‎f_3)$ and by use of Hopf's Lemma we show that $M$ is simply contact CR-product under certain condition‎. ‎Finally‎, ‎we establish a sharp inequality for squared norm of the second fundamental form and equality case is discussed‎. ‎The results in this paper generalize existing results in the literature.
