Abstract

Advances in modern physics since Einstein have made the nonsymmetric metric (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, more attractive than ever. A. Einstein considered a linear connection \nabla with torsion TT such that (XG)(Y,Z)=G(T(Y,X),Z)(\nabla_X\,G)(Y,Z)=G(T(Y,X),Z). In this paper, we explicitly present the Einstein connection of G=g+FG=g+F using a weak almost contact structure (f,ξ,η)(f,\xi,\eta) with g(X,fY)=F(X,Y)g(X,fY)=F(X,Y) with a natural condition (trivial in the almost contact case). We discuss special Einstein connections, and give an example in terms of the weighted product of almost Hermitian manifold and a real line.
