Weighted metrics on tangent sphere bundles

Differential Geometry 2012-07-17 v1

Abstract

Natural metric structures on the tangent bundle and tangent sphere bundles SrMS_rM of a Riemannian manifold MM with radius function rr enclose many important unsolved problems. Admitting metric connections on MM with torsion, we deduce the equations of induced metric connections on those bundles. Then the equations of reducibility of TMTM to the almost Hermitian category. Our purpose is the study of the natural contact structure on SrMS_rM and the G2G_2-twistor space of any oriented Riemannian 4-manifold.
