Abstract

The isotropic almost complex structures induce a Riemannian metric gδ,σg_{\delta,\sigma} on TM, which are the generalized type of Sasakian metric. In this paper, the Levi-Civita connection of gδ,σg_{\delta,\sigma} is calculated and the harmonicity of unit vector fields from (M,g)(M, g) to (S(M),igδ,0)(S(M), i*g_{\delta,0}) is investigated, where igδ,0i*g_{\delta,0} is a particular type of induced metric igδ,σi*g_{\delta,\sigma}. Finally, an important example is presented which satisfies in main theorem of the paper.
