Abstract: We derive the equations of Gauss and Weingarten for a non-degenerate hypersurface of a semi-Riemannian manifold admitting a semi-symmetric metric connection, and give some corollaries of these equations. In addition, we obtain the equations of Gauss curvature and Codazzi-Mainardi for this non-degenerate hypersurface and give a relation between the Ricci and the scalar curvatures of a semi-Riemannian manifold and of its a non-degenerate hypersurface with respect to a semi-symmetric metric connection. Eventually, we establish conformal equations of Gauss curvature and Codazzi-Mainardi.
