Abstract

Let MM be an nn-dimensional differentiable manifold equipped with a torsion-free linear connection \nabla and TMT^{\ast }M its cotangent bundle. The present paper aims to study a metric connection \widetilde{% \nabla } with nonvanishing torsion on TMT^{\ast }M with modified Riemannian extension gˉ,c{}\bar{g}_{\nabla ,c}. First, we give a characterization of fibre-preserving projective vector fields on (TM,gˉ(T^{\ast }M,{}\bar{g}%_{\nabla ,c}) with respect to the metric connection ~\widetilde{\nabla }. Secondly, we study conditions for (TM,gˉ,c)(T^{\ast }M,{}\bar{g}_{\nabla ,c}) to be semi-symmetric, Ricci semi-symmetric, Z~\widetilde{Z} semi-symmetric or locally conharmonically flat with respect to the metric connection % \widetilde{\nabla }. Finally, we present some results concerning the Schouten-Van Kampen connection associated to the Levi-Civita connection % \bar{\nabla } of the modified Riemannian extension gˉ\bar{g}%_{\nabla ,c}.
