Pointwise Bi-Slant Submanifolds in Locally Conformal Kähler Manifolds Immersed as Warped Products

We study immersions of pointwise bi-slant submanifolds of locally conformal Kähler manifolds as warped products. In particular, we establish characterisation theorem for a pointwise bi-slant submanifold of a locally conformal Kähler manifold to be immersed as a warped product and show that a necessary condition is that the Lee vector field $B$ is orthogonal to the second factor and the warping function $\lambda$ satisfies $\text{grad}(\ln \lambda )=\frac{1}{2}{B}^T$, where $B^T$ denotes the tangential part of the Lee vector field. We also extend Chen’s inequality for the squared length of the second fundamental form to our case and study the corresponding equality case.
