Abstract
In the present paper we study the existence or non-existence of warped product semi-slant submanifolds in quasi-para-Sasakian manifolds and prove that there are no proper warped product semi-slant submanifolds in a quasi-para-Sasakian manifold such that totally geodesic and totally umbilical submanifolds of warped product are proper semi-slant and invariant (or anti-invariant), respectively.
