Abstract

In earlier work we have shown that for certain geometric structures on a smooth manifold MM of dimension nn, one obtains an almost para-K\"ahler--Einstein metric on a manifold AA of dimension 2n2n associated to the structure on MM. The geometry also associates a diffeomorphism between AA and TMT^*M to any torsion-free connection compatible with the geometric structure. Hence we can use this construction to associate to each compatible connection an almost para-K\"ahler--Einstein metric on TMT^*M. In this short article, we discuss the relation of these metrics to Patterson--Walker metrics and derive explicit formulae for them in the cases of projective, conformal and Grassmannian structures.
