Abstract

A.Einstein considered a linear connection \nabla with torsion TT on a smooth manifold equipped with a nonsymmetric (0,2)-tensor G=g+FG=g+F, where gg is a pseudo-Riemannian metric associated with gravity, and F0F\ne0 is a skew-symmetric tensor associated with electromagnetism, such that (XG)(Y,Z)=G(T(X,Y),Z)(\nabla_X\,G)(Y,Z)=-G(T(X,Y),Z). In this paper, we explicitly present the Einstein connection of a nonsymmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifold with non-degenerate FF, satisfying the f2f^2-torsion condition T(f2X,Y)=T(X,f2Y)=f2T(X,Y)T(f^2X,Y)=T(X,f^2Y)=f^2 T(X,Y), where g(X,fY)=F(X,Y)g(X,fY)=F(X,Y), and show that in the almost Hermitian case, it reduces to the M.Prvanovi\'c's (1995) solution. We also explicitly present the Einstein connection of almost contact metric manifolds satisfying the f2f^2-torsion condition, discuss special Einstein connections, and give example in terms of weighted product of almost Hermitian manifolds.
