To every real analytic Riemannian manifold M there is associated a complex structure on a neighborhood of the zero section in the real tangent bundle of M. This structure can be uniquely specified in several ways, and is referred to as a…

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 review the intrinsic geometry of the tangent bundle of a differentiable manifold $M$, aside from any non-natural structures. We recall the properties of the mirror map $B\in\mathrm{End}(TTM)$, known also as the canonical endomorphism or…

We study lift metrics and lift connections on the tangent bundle $TM$ of a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We also investigate the statistical and Codazzi couples of $TM$ and their consequences on the geometry of $M$. Finally, we prove a…

Given a vector bundle $A\to M$ we study the geometry of the graded manifolds $T^*[k]A[1]$, including their canonical symplectic structures, compatible Q-structures and Lagrangian Q-submanifolds. We relate these graded objects to classical…

In this paper, we address several interconnected problems in the theory of harmonic maps between Riemannian manifolds. First, we present necessary background and establish one of the main results of the paper: a criterion characterizing…

We show, using two different approaches, that there exists a family of Riemannian metrics on the tangent bundle of a two-sphere, which induces metrics of constant curvature on its unit tangent bundle. In other words, given such a metric on…

In this paper we will extend the notion of tangent bundle to a $\z$ graded tangent bundle. This graded bundle has a Lie algebroid structure and we can develop notions semi-riemannian metrics, Levi-civita connection, and curvature, on it. In…

We study harmonic sections of a Riemannian vector bundle whose total space is equipped with a 2-parameter family of metrics which includes both the Sasaki and Cheeger-Gromoll metrics. This enables the theory of harmonic unit sections to be…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, let $TM$ be its tangent bundle and $T^{*}M$ its cotangent bundle. This paper investigates integrability conditions for generalized metrics, generalized almost para-complex structures, and generalized Hermitian…

Here we study what we call bounded rough Riemannian metrics $(M,g)$, which are positive definite, symmetric tensors on each tangent space, $T_pM$, which are bounded and measurable as functions in coordinates. This is enough structure to…

Motivated by the computation of loop space quantum mechanics as indicated in [7], here we seek a better understanding of the tubular geometry of loop space ${\cal L}{\cal M}$ corresponding to a Riemannian manifold ${\cal M}$ around the…

In a previous work, the authors introduced the notion of `coherent tangent bundle', which is useful for giving a treatment of singularities of smooth maps without ambient spaces. Two different types of Gauss-Bonnet formulas on coherent…

We are interested in studying doubling metric spaces with the property that at some of the points the metric tangent is unique. In such a setting, Finsler-Carnot-Caratheodory geometries and Carnot groups appear as models for the tangents.…
