Existence of Warped Product Submanifolds of Almost Hermitian Manifolds

This paper has two goals; the first is to generalize results for the existence and nonexistence of warped product submanifolds of almost Hermitian manifolds, accordingly a self-contained reference of such submanifolds is offered to save efforts of other researchers, which is the second goal. At the end of the paper a list of warped products is tabulated whether exist or not. Moreover, a discrete example of $CR$-warped product submanifold in Kaehler manifold is constructed. For further research direction, we addressed a couple of open problems arose from the results of this paper.
