Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. Equipping its tangent bundle $TM$ (resp. unit tangent bundle $T_1M$) by a pseudo-Riemannian $g$-natural metric $G$ (resp. $\tilde{G}$), we study the biharmonicty of vector fields (resp. unit…

Let $(M,g)$ be a Riemannian manifold. When $M$ is compact and the tangent bundle $TM$ is equipped with the Sasaki metric $g^s$, the only vector fields which define harmonic maps from $(M,g)$ to $(TM,g^s)$, are the parallel ones. The Sasaki…

The isotropic almost complex structures induce a Riemannian metric $g_{\delta,\sigma}$ on TM, which are the generalized type of Sasakian metric. In this paper, the Levi-Civita connection of $g_{\delta,\sigma}$ is calculated and the…

We consider the energy functional on the space of sections of a sphere bundle over a Riemannian manifold (M, <,>) equipped with the Sasaki metric and we discuss the characterising condition for critical points. Likewise, we provide a useful…

A vector field s on a Riemannian manifold M is said to be harmonic if there exists a member of a 2-parameter family of generalised Cheeger-Gromoll metrics on TM with respect to which s is a harmonic section. If M is a simply-connected…

Let $\psi: (M,g)\longrightarrow (N,h)$ be a smooth map between Riemannian manifolds. The tension field of $\psi$ can be regarded as a map from $(M,g)$ into the Riemannian vector bundle $\psi^{-1}TN$, equipped with the Sasaki metric $G_{S}$.…

Given a closed Riemannian manifold $(M^m,g)$ and a vector field $v$ on $M$, we form the Sasaki metric $g_S$ on $TM$, and restrict it to the image of the cross section map of $M$ into $TM$ defined by $v$, whose pull back to $M$ defines a new…
