Chen (1999) established a sharp relationship between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for a submanifold in a Riemanian space form with arbitrary codimension. Matsumoto (to appear) dealt with similar problems for sub-manifolds in complex space forms.

In this article we obtain sharp relationships between the Ricci curvature and the squared mean curvature for submanifolds in (K, μ)-contact space forms.
