Abstract : In this paper a sharp estimate of the maximum Ricci curvature function for a special contact
slant submanifold M in a Kenmotsu space form )
(c
M , in terms of the main extrinsic invariant namely
the squared mean curvature has been obtained.
If submanifold M satisfies the equality case identically,
then it is minimal.
