V.Oproiu and N.Papaghiuc: Some new geometric structures of natural lift type on the tangent bundle, p.333-346

Abstract:

We present some aspects from the study of geometric structures of natural lift type on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. After presenting, in the first two sections, the basic constructions leading to the almost Hermitian structures of diagonal type, we find the conditions under which such structures are almost Kählerian or Kählerian. In section 4 we present the results concerning the almost anti-Hermitian structures. Next we study the general natural almost Hermitian structures, obtaining similar results. Finally, in section 6 we obtain sufficient conditions for a general natural Kaehler structure on the tangent bundle to be a Kaehler Einstein structure.

Key Words: tangent bundle, Riemannian metric, general natural lift, Einstein structure.
