The starting point of the famous structure theorems on Berwald spaces due to Z.I. Szabó [4] is an observation on the Riemann-metrizability of positive definite Berwald manifolds. It states that there always exists a Riemannian metric on the underlying manifold such that its Levi-Civita connection is just the canonical connection of the Berwald manifold. In this paper we present a new elementary...

In this paper we investigate the form of induced gauge fields that arises in two types of quantum systems. In the first we consider quantum mechanics on coset spaces G/H, and argue that G-invariance is central to the emergence of the H-connection as induced gauge fields in the different quantum sectors. We then demonstrate why the same connection, now giving rise to the non-abelian generalizati...

We study several linear connections (the first canonical, the Chern, the well adapted, the Levi Civita, the Kobayashi-Nomizu, the Yano, the Bismut and those with totally skew-symmetric torsion) which can be defined on the four geometric types of (J2 = ±1)-metric manifolds. We characterize when such a connection is adapted to the structure, and obtain a lot of results about coincidence among con...

In this article, the aim is to introduce a para-Sasakian manifold with a canonical paracontact connection. It is shown that φ−conharmonically flat , φ−W2 flat and φ−pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds with respect to canonical paracontact connection are all η−Einstein manifolds. Also, we prove that quasi-pseudo projectively flat para-Sasakian manifolds are of constant scalar curvat...

We consider complete nearly Kähler manifolds with the canonical Hermitian connection. We prove some metric properties of strict nearly Kähler manifolds and give a sufficient condition for the reducibility of the canonical Hermitian connection. A holonomic condition for a nearly Kähler manifold to be a twistor space over a quaternionic Kähler manifold is given. This enables us to give classifica...

We propose a natural Fedosov type quantization of generalized Lagrange models and gravity theories with metrics lifted on tangent bundle, or extended to higher dimension, following some stated geometric/ physical conditions (for instance, nonholonomic and/or conformal transforms to some physically important metrics or mapping into a gauge model). Such generalized Lagrange transforms define cano...

We investigate the symplectic geometric and also differential aspects of moduli space connections on a compact connected Riemann surface X . Fix theta characteristic K 1 / 2 ; it defines divisor M stable vector bundles rank r degree zero. Given bundle E ? lying outside divisor, we construct natural holomorphic connection that depends holomorphically Using this connection, canonical isomorphism ...
