We prove that the tangent bundle endowed with a g-natural metrics has constant sectional curvature if and only if it is flat, and then we give a characterization of flat g-natural metrics on tangent bundles.

For a Riemannian manifold $(N,g)$, we construct a scalar flat metric $G$ in the tangent bundle $TN$. It is locally conformally flat if and only if either, $N$ is a 2-dimensional manifold or, $(N,g)$ is a real space form. It is also shown…

Natural metric structures on tangent bundles and tangent sphere bundles enclose many important problems, from the topology of the base to the determination of their holonomy. We make here a brief study of the topic. We find the…

Let (M,g) be a Riemannian manifold and G a nondegenerate g-natural metric on its tangent bundle T M . In this paper we establish a relation between the Jacobi operators of (M,g) and that of (T M,G). In the case of a Riemannian surface…

Let $(M,g)$ be a noncompact complete Bach-flat manifold with positive Yamabe constant. We prove that $(M,g)$ is flat if $(M, g)$ has zero scalar curvature and sufficiently small $L_{2}$ bound of curvature tensor. When $(M, g)$ has…

We compute the curvature tensor of the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold endowed with a natural metric and we get some relationships between the geometry of the base manifold and the geometry of the tangent bundle.

In the paper we investigate submanifolds in a tangent bundle endowed with g-natural metric G, defined by a vector field on a base manifold. We give a sufficient condition for a vector field on M to defined totally geodesic submanifold in…

Considering the class G of g-natural metrics on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M, g), it is shown that the flatnees for g is a necessary and sufficient condition of weakly symmetry (recurrent or pseudo-symmetry) of G. In…

We investigate the geometry of a normal bundle equipped with a $(p,q)$-metric, i.e., Riemannian metric of Cheeger-Gromoll type, to the submanifold of a Riemannian manifold. We derive all natural object as the Levi-Civita connection,…

We determine the curvature equations of natural metrics on tangent bundles and radius r tangent sphere bundles S_rM of a Riemannian manifold M. A family of positive scalar curvature metrics on S_rM is found, for any M with bounded sectional…
