Abstract

In this note, we present a biographical sketch of the life and academic contributions of late Professor Krishan L. Duggal. His contributions span from Riemannian and Lorentzian geometries of manifolds with various structural groups of the tangent bundle, Lightlike curves and submanifolds, Cauchy-Riemann geometry, Symmetries of semi-Riemannian manifolds, to Killing horizons. In particular, his approach to the study of lightlike submanifolds is remarkable and drawn considerable interest of many geometers.
