In this paper, we consider a manifold with a dynamical vector field and enquire about the possible tangent bundle structures which would turn the starting vector field into a second-order one. The analysis is restricted to manifolds which are diffeomorphic with affine spaces. In particular, we consider the problem in connection with conformal vector fields of second-order and apply the procedure to vector fields conformally related with the harmonic oscillator ([Formula: see text]-oscillators). We select one which covers the vector field describing the Kepler problem.

In this paper, we show, in a systematic way, how to relate the Kepler problem to the isotropic harmonic oscillator. Unlike previous approaches, our constructions are carried over in the Lagrangian formalism dealing, with second order vector fields. We therefore provide a tangent bundle version of the Kustaanheimo-Stiefel map.

UDC 514.7 Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold and T M be its tangent bundle equipped with a Riemannian (or pseudo-Riemannian) lift metric derived from g .  We give a classification of infinitesimal fibre-preserving conformal transformations on the tangent bundle.

We give here a geometric proof of the existence of certain local coordinates on a pseudo-Riemannian manifold admitting a closed conformal vector field.

In [1] S. Kobayashi showed that the connected components of the set of zeros of a Killing vector field on a Riemannian manifold (Mn,g) are totally geodesic submanifolds of (Mn,g) of even codimension including the case of isolated singular points. The purpose of this short note is to give a simple proof of the corresponding result for conformal vector fields on compact Riemannian manifolds. In particular we prove the following

We study the effect of a nontrivial conformal vector field on the geometry of compact Riemannian spaces. We find two new characterizations of the m-dimensional sphere Sm(c) of constant curvature c. The first characterization uses the well known de-Rham Laplace operator, while the second uses a nontrivial solution of the famous Fischer–Marsden differential equation.

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.
