In this article, we obtain the following generalization of isometric C1-immersion theorem of Nash and Kuiper. Let M be a smooth manifold of dimension m and H a rank k subbundle of the tangent bundle TM with a Riemannian metric gH. Then the pair (H, gH) defines a sub-Riemannian structure on M. We call a C1-map f : (M, H, gH) → (N, h) into a Riemannian manifold (N, h) a partial isometry if the derivative map df restricted to H is isometric, that is if f*h|H = gH. We prove that if f0 : M → N is a smooth map such that df0|H is a bundle monomorphism and [Formula: see text], then f0 can be homotoped to a C1-map f : M → N which is a partial isometry, provided dim N > k. As a consequence of this result, we obtain that every sub-Riemannian manifold (M, H, gH) admits a partial isometry in ℝn, provided n ≥ m + k.

We show how to lift a Riemannian metric and almost symplectic form on a manifold to a Riemannian structure on a canonically associated supermanifold known as the antitangent or shifted tangent bundle. We view this construction as a generalization of Sasaki’s construction of a Riemannian metric on the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold.

Starting from the g-natural Riemannian metric G on the tangent bundle TM of a Riemannian manifold (M,g), we construct a family of the Golden Riemannian structures ? on the tangent bundle (TM,G). Then we investigate the integrability of such Golden Riemannian structures on the tangent bundle TM and show that there is a direct correlation between the locally decomposable property of (TM,?,G) and the locally flatness of manifold (M,g).

In this paper, we introduce a Riemannian metric [Formula: see text] and a family of framed f-structures on the slit tangent bundle [Formula: see text] of a Finsler manifold Fn = (M, F). Then we prove that there exists an almost contact structure on the tangent bundle, when this structure is restricted to the Finslerian indicatrix. We show that this structure is Sasakian if and only if Fn is of positive constant curvature 1. Finally, we prove that (i) Fn is a locally flat Riemannian manifold if and only if [Formula: see text], (ii) the Jacobi operator [Formula: see text] is zero or commuting if and only if (M, F) have the zero flag curvature.

Almost Complex

AbstractIn this paper, the standard almost complex structure on the tangent bunle of a Riemannian manifold will be generalized. We will generalize the standard one to the new ones such that the induced (0, 2)-tensor on the tangent bundle using these structures and Liouville 1-form will be a Riemannian metric. Moreover, under the integrability condition, the curvature operator of the base manifold will be classified.

In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics on the tangent bundle $TM$ of the Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ denoted by $G^{f,h}$ which is named a twisted Sasakian metric. A necessary and sufficient conditions under which a vector field is harmonic with respect to the twisted Sasakian metric are established. Some examples of harmonic vector fields are presented as well.

A linear connexion ∇ on a smooth manifold M with vanishing torsion and curvature is called flat. It is well known that such a connexion need not be the Levi-Civita connexion of a Riemannian (nor pseudo-Riemannian) structure (cf. [1]).The following example with M homeomorphic to a cylinder is particularly simple. Using polar coordinates the punctured plane M=R2\{0} is covered by a smooth atlas with two charts

Result Theorem

Most proofs for the classical Gauss-Bonnet formula use special coordinates, or other non-trivial preparations. Here, a simple proof is given, based on the fact that the structure group SO(2) of the tangent bundle of an oriented 2-dimensional Riemannian manifold is abelian. Since only this hypothesis is used, we prove a slightly more general result (Theorem 1).
