a cartan manifold is a smooth manifold m whose slit cotangent bundle 0t *m is endowed with a regularhamiltonian k which is positively homogeneous of degree 2 in momenta. the hamiltonian k defines a (pseudo)-riemannian metric ij g in the vertical bundle over 0 t *m and using it, a sasaki type metric on 0 t *m is constructed. a natural almost complex structure is also defined by k on 0 t *m in su...

In this paper, we study a special class of generalized Douglas-Weyl metrics whose Douglas curvature is constant along any Finslerian geodesic. We prove that for every Landsberg metric in this class of Finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if H = 0. Then we show that every Finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a Riemannian if and only if ? = 0.

We characterize the natural diagonal almost product (locally product) structures on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We obtain the conditions under which the tangent bundle endowed with the determined structure and with a metric of natural diagonal lift type is a Riemannian almost product (locally product) manifold, or an (almost) para-Hermitian manifold. We find the natural diagona...

in this paper the general relatively isotropic l -curvature finsler metrics are studied. it isshown that on constant relatively landsberg spaces, the concepts of weakly landsbergian, landsbergianand generalized landsbergian metrics are equivalent. some necessary conditions for a relativelyisotropic l -curvature finsler metric to be a riemannian metric are also found.

We prove that the L Riemannian metric on the manifold of all smooth Riemannian metrics on a fixed closed, finite-dimensional manifold induces a metric space structure. As the L metric is a weak Riemannian metric, this fact does not follow from general results. In addition, we prove several results on the exponential mapping and distance function of a weak Riemannian metric on a Hilbert/Fréchet ...

The local equivalence problem for sub-Riemannian structures on threemanifolds is solved. In the course of the solution, it is shown how to attach a canonical Riemannian metric and connection to the given sub-Riemannian metric and it is shown how all of the differential invariants of the sub-Riemannian structure can be calculated. The relation between the completeness of the sub-Riemannian metri...

Let $M$ be an orientable hypersurface in the Euclidean space $R^{2n}$ with induced metric $g$ and $TM$ be its tangent bundle. It is known that the tangent bundle $TM$ has induced metric $overline{g}$ as submanifold of the Euclidean space $R^{4n}$ which is not a natural metric in the sense that the submersion $pi :(TM,overline{g})rightarrow (M,g)$ is not the Riemannian submersion. In this paper...

in the first part of this paper, some theorems are given for a riemannian manifold with semi-symmetric metric connection. in the second part of it, some special vector fields, for example, torse-forming vector fields, recurrent vector fields and concurrent vector fields are examined in this manifold. we obtain some properties of this manifold having the vectors mentioned above.

in this paper, we study a special class of generalized douglas-weyl metrics whose douglas curvature is constant along any finslerian geodesic. we prove that for every landsberg metric in this class of finsler metrics, ? = 0 if and only if h = 0. then we show that every finsler metric of non-zero isotropic flag curvature in this class of metrics is a riemannian if and only if ? = 0.
