Metric semi-symmetric -linear connections in the bundle of accelerations.
We contribute to the reverse of the Fundamental Theorem of Riemannian geometry: if a symmetric linear connection on a manifold is given, find non-degenerate metrics compatible with the connection (locally or globally) if there are any. The problem is not easy in general. For nowhere flat -manifolds, we formulate necessary and sufficient metrizability conditions. In the favourable case, we describe all compatible metrics in terms of the Ricci tensor. We propose an application in the calculus of...
We obtain the natural diagonal almost product and locally product structures on the total space of the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. Studying the compatibility and the anti-compatibility relations between the determined structures and a natural diagonal metric, we find the Riemannian almost product (locally product) and the (almost) para-Hermitian cotangent bundles of natural diagonal lift type. Finally, we prove the characterization theorem for the natural diagonal (almost) para-Kählerian...
We determine all natural transformations T²₁T*→ T*T²₁ where . We also give a geometric characterization of the canonical isomorphism ψ₂ defined by Cantrijn et al.
We consider a vector bundle and the principal bundle of frames of . We determine all natural transformations of the connection bundle of the first order principal prolongation of principal bundle into itself.
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....
For a vector bundle functor with the point property we prove that is product preserving if and only if for any and there is an -natural operator transforming connections on -dimensional fibered manifolds into connections on . For a bundle functor with some weak conditions we prove non-existence of -natural operators transforming connections on -dimensional fibered manifolds into connections on .
