Curvatures of the diagonal lift from an affine manifold to the linear frame bundle

Oldřich Kowalski, Masami Sekizawa (2012)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

We investigate the curvature of the so-called diagonal lift from an affine manifold to the linear frame bundle LM. This is an affine analogue (but not a direct generalization) of the Sasaki-Mok metric on LM investigated by L.A. Cordero and M. de León in 1986. The Sasaki-Mok metric is constructed over a Riemannian manifold as base manifold. We receive analogous and, surprisingly, even stronger results in our affine setting.

g -natural metrics of constant curvature on unit tangent sphere bundles

M. T. K. Abbassi, Giovanni Calvaruso (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We completely classify Riemannian g -natural metrics of constant sectional curvature on the unit tangent sphere bundle T 1 M of a Riemannian manifold ( M , g ) . Since the base manifold M turns out to be necessarily two-dimensional, weaker curvature conditions are also investigated for a Riemannian g -natural metric on the unit tangent sphere bundle of a Riemannian surface.

On the geometry of frame bundles

Similarity:

Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold, L ( M ) its frame bundle. We construct new examples of Riemannian metrics, which are obtained from Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle T M . We compute the Levi–Civita connection and curvatures of these metrics.

Unit tangent sphere bundles with constant scalar curvature

Eric Boeckx, Lieven Vanhecke (2001)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

As a first step in the search for curvature homogeneous unit tangent sphere bundles we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a manifold to have a unit tangent sphere bundle with constant scalar curvature. We give complete classifications for low dimensions and for conformally flat manifolds. Further, we determine when the unit tangent sphere bundle is Einstein or Ricci-parallel.
