Several fundamental results in this respect are proved. The integrability of the distributions and the geometry of foliations are investigated. We proved the nonexistence of (anti-invariant) Riemannian submersions from Kenmotsu manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds such that the characteristic vector field ξ is a vertical vector field. We gave a method to get horizontally conformal submersion examples from warped product manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. Furthermore, we presented an example of anti-invariant Riemannian submersions in the case where the characteristic vector field ξ is a horizontal vector field and an anti-invariant horizontally conformal submersion such that ξ is a vertical vector field.

Introduction Riemannian submersions between Riemannian manifolds were studied by O’Neill [16] and Gray [9]. Riemannian submersions have several applications in mathematical physics. Indeed, Riemannian submersions have their applications in the Yang–Mills theory [4, 27], Kaluza–Klein theory [5, 10], supergravity and superstring theories [11, 28], etc. Later such submersions were considered between manifolds with differentiable structures; see [8]. Furthermore, we have the following submersions: semi-Riemannian .
