Introduction An important topic in differential geometry is the Riemannian submersions between Riemannian manifolds introduced by O’Neill [12] and Gray [5]. Such submersions were generalized by Watson to almost Hermitian manifolds by proving that the base manifold and each fiber have the same kind of structure as the total space in most cases [21]. Recently, many works considering different conditions on Riemannian submersion have been done (see [3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 13, 15, 17, 19, 20]). Sahin [18] introduced slant submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds in such a way that let π be a Riemannian submersion from an almost Hermitian manifold (M1 , g1 , J1 ) onto a Riemannian manifold (M2 , g2 ) . If for any nonzero vector X ∈ Γ (ker π∗ ), the angle θ(X) between JX and the space ker π∗ is a constant, . it is independent of the choice of the point p ∈ M1 and choice of the tangent vector X in ker π∗ , then we say that π is a slant submersion. In this case, the angle θ is called the slant angle of the slant submersion. He gave some examples and investigated the geometry of leaves of the distributions for such submersions.
