Abstract
In this paper we study the geometrical structures on the cotangent bundle using the notions of adapted tangent structure and regular vector fields. We prove that the dynamical covariant derivative on fix a nonlinear connection for a given -regular vector field. Using the Legendre transformation induced by a regular Hamiltonian, we show that a semi-Hamiltonian vector field on corresponds to a semispray on if and only if the nonlinear connection on is just the canonical nonlinear connection induced by the regular Lagrangian.
