Abstract

A. Einstein considered a manifold with a non-symmetric (0,2)-tensor G=g+FG=g+F, where gg is a Riemannian metric and F0F\ne0, and a connection \nabla with torsion TT such that (XG)(Y,Z)=G(T(X,Y),Z)(\nabla_X G)(Y,Z)=-G(T(X,Y),Z). Guided by the almost Lie algebroid construction on a vector bundle, we define the basic concepts of Bochner's technique for Einstein's non-symmetric geometry, give a clear example of the Einstein's connection \nabla, prove Weitzenb\"{o}ck type decomposition formula and obtain vanishing results about the null space of the Bochner and Hodge type Laplacians.
