Conformal anti-invariant xi^perp-submersions

As a generalization of anti-invariant $\xi^\perp-$Riemannian submersions, we introduce conformal anti-invariant $\xi^\perp-$submersions from almost contact metric manifolds onto Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the geometry of foliations which are arisen from the definition of a conformal submersion and find necessary and sufficient conditions for a conformal anti-invariant $\xi^\perp-$submersion to be totally geodesic and harmonic, respectively. Moreover, we show that there are certain product structures on the total space of a conformal anti-invariant $\xi^\perp-$submersion.
