Abstract :In this paper, we introduce the idea of a lightlike submersion from a semi-Riemannian manifold onto a lightlike manifold, and give some examples. Then we define O’Neill’s tensors for such submersions and investigate their main properties. We show that the Schouten connection is not a metric connection in a lightlike submersion. We also investigate curvature properties of the manifolds and establish a relation between the null sectional curvatures of a semi-Riemannian manifold and a lightlike manifold.Keywords : Lightlike Manifold, Submersion, Lightlike submersion, 2000 AMS Classification 53 C 20
