Abstract
We consider almost Kenmotsu manifolds with conformal Reeb foliation. We prove that such a foliation produces harmonic morphisms,we study the k-nullity distributions and we discuss the isometric immersion of such a manifold M as hypersurface in a real space form M(c) of constant curvature c proving that c is less or equal to −1 and,if c<−1, M is totally umbilical, Kenmotsu and locally isometric to the hyperbolic space of constant curvature −1. Finally, the Einstein and \eta-Einstein conditions are discussed. 2000Mathematics Subject Classification : 53C15; 53C25.
