1. Introduction
To find relationship between the extrinsic and intrinsic invariants of a submanifold have been very popular problems in the recent twenty five years. The first study in this direction was started by B.-Y. Chen in 1993. He established some inequalities between the main extrinsic (the squared mean curvature) and main intrinsic invariants (the scalar curvature and the Ricci curvature) of a submanifold in a real space form [11]. In 1999, Chen also established a relation between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for a submanifold [12]. After that, many papers have been published by various authors in different ambient spaces. In 2011, Chen published a book which consists of the all studies doing in these directions [13]. The topic is still very popular and there are many new papers related to the inequalities which are introduced by Chen. For example see [2], [10], [12], [15], [16], [17], [18], [19] and [21].
Let and be and -dimensional Riemannian manifolds, respectively. A Riemannian submersion is a mapping of onto such that has a maximal rank and the differential preserves the lengths of the horizontal vectors [8]. In [4] and [5], Chen proved a simple optimal relationship between Riemannian submersions and minimal immersions [4]. In [1], Alegre, Chen and Munteanu established a sharp relationship between the -invariants and Riemannian submersions with totally geodesic fibers. In [7], Gülbahar, Meriç and Kılıç obtained sharp inequalities involving the Ricci curvature for Riemannian submersions. In [20], Şahin introduced anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from almost Hermitian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds.
Motivated by the above studies, in the present study, we consider anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from Sasakian manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We obtain sharp inequalities involving the Ricci curvature and the scalar curvature.
The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we give brief introduction about Sasakian manifolds and submersions. We give some lemmas which will be used in Section 3 and Section 4. In Section 3, we obtain some inequalities involving the Ricci curvature and the scalar curvature on the vertical and horizontal distributions for anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from Sasakian space forms. The equality cases are also discussed. In Section 4, we prove Chen-Ricci inequalities on the vertical and horizontal distributions for anti-invariant Riemannian submersions from Sasakian space forms. We find relationships between the intrinsic and extrinsic invariants using fundamental tensors. The equality cases are also considered.

The equality case of the inequality holds for a unit vertical vector field if and only if each fiber is totally geodesic.
Similarly in view of (3.1), using the symmetry of , we have
[TABLE]
where Then we can write
[TABLE]
The equality case of the inequality holds if and only if , which means that each fiber is totally geodesic. Thus we can state the following theorem:
