We study conformal and Killing vector fields on the unit tangent bundle, over a Riemannian manifold, equipped with an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian -natural metric. We characterize the conformal and Killing conditions for classical lifts of vector fields and we give a full classification of conformal fiber-preserving vector fields on the unit tangent bundle endowed with an arbitrary pseudo-Riemannian Kaluza-Klein type metric.
We see how the first jet bundle of curves into affine space can be realized as a homogeneous space of the Galilean group. Cartan connections with this model are precisely the geometric structure of second-order ordinary differential equations under time-preserving transformations - sometimes called KCC-theory. With certain regularity conditions, we show that any such Cartan connection induces “laboratory” coordinate systems, and the geodesic equations in this coordinates form a system of second-order...
We characterize generalized Douglas-Weyl Randers metrics in terms of their Zermelo navigation data. Then, we study the Randers metrics induced by some important classes of almost contact metrics. Furthermore, we construct a family of generalized Douglas-Weyl Randers metrics which are not -quadratic. We show that the Randers metric induced by a Kenmotsu manifold is a Douglas metric which is not of isotropic -curvature. We show that the Randers metric induced by a Kenmotsu or Sasakian manifold is...
In this paper, we study the characterization of generalized -harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds. We prove that a map between Riemannian manifolds is an -harmonic morphism if and only if it is a horizontally weakly conformal map satisfying some further conditions. We present new properties generalizing Fuglede-Ishihara characterization for harmonic morphisms ([Fuglede B., Harmonic morphisms between Riemannian manifolds, Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble) 28 (1978), 107–144], [Ishihara T., A...
The purpose of the present paper is to study generalized M-projectively recurrent manifolds. Some geometric properties of generalized M projectively recurrent manifolds have been studied under certain curvature conditions. An application of such a manifold in the theory of relativity has also been shown. Finally, we give an example of a generalized M-projectively recurrent manifold.
