A characterization of a minimal submanifold in
In this paper there are discussed the three-component distributions of affine space . Functions , which are introduced in the neighborhood of the second order, determine the normal of the first kind of -distribution in every center of -distribution. There are discussed too normals and quasi-tensor of the second order . In the same way bunches of the projective normals of the first kind of the -distributions were determined in the differential neighborhood of the second and third order.
In this paper, we introduce the Mus-Sasaki metric on the tangent bundle as a new natural metric non-rigid on . First we investigate the geometry of the Mus-Sasakian metrics and we characterize the sectional curvature and the scalar curvature.
