Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to study the submersions of a generic submanifold [Formula: see text] of a nearly Kaehler manifold [Formula: see text]. It is proved that the base space [Formula: see text] of such a submersion which is an almost Hermitian manifold, turns out to be nearly Kaehler. It is also shown under certain conditions that base [Formula: see text] becomes Kaehler. Further, we give some curvature relations; specifically, we derive the relation between the holomorphic sectional curvature of [Formula: see text] restricted to the horizontal distribution and that of [Formula: see text].
