Let Fm = (M, F) be a Finsler manifold and G be the Sasaki-Finsler metric on the slit tangent bundle TM0 = TM \{0} of M. We express the scalar curvature ?~ of the Riemannian manifold (TM0,G) in terms of some geometrical objects of the Finsler manifold Fm. Then, we find necessary and sufficient conditions for ?~ to be a positively homogenenous function of degree zero with respect to the fiber coordinates of TM0. Finally, we obtain characterizations of Landsberg manifolds, Berwald manifolds and Riemannian manifolds whose ?~ satisfies the above condition.

Our study is mainly devoted to a natural diagonal metric G on the total space TMof the tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M, 1). We provide the necessary and sufficient conditions under which (TM,G) is a space form, or equivalently (TM,G) is projectively Euclidean. Moreover, we classify the natural diagonal metrics G for which (TM,G) is horizontally projectively flat (resp. vertically projectively flat).

In this paper, we consider a Lagrangian Riemannian submersion from a Hermitian manifold to a Riemannian manifold and establish some basic inequalities to obtain relationships between the intrinsic and extrinsic invariants for such a submersion. Indeed, using these inequalities, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for which a Lagrangian Riemannian submersion [Formula: see text] has totally geodesic or totally umbilical fibers. Moreover, we study the harmonicity of Lagrangian Riemannian submersions and obtain a characterization for such submersions to be harmonic.

In a previous paper, we introduced the notion of magnetic vector fields. More precisely, we consider a vector field ? as a map from a Riemannian manifold into its tangent bundle endowed with the usual almost K?hlerian structure and we find necessary and sufficient conditions for ? to be a magnetic map with respect to ? itself and the K?hler 2-form. In this paper we give new examples of magnetic vector fields.

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.

This paper has two aims. First, we show that the usual notion of umbilical maps between Riemannian manifolds does not work for Riemannian maps. Then we introduce a new notion of umbilical Riemannian maps between Riemannian manifolds and give a method on how to construct examples of umbilical Riemannian maps. In the second part, as a generalization of CR-submanifolds, holomorphic submersions, anti-invariant submersions, invariant Riemannian maps and anti-invariant Riemannian maps, we introduce semi-invariant Riemannian maps from Riemannian manifolds to almost Hermitian manifolds, give examples and investigate the geometry of distributions which are arisen from definition. We also obtain a decomposition theorem and give necessary and sufficient conditions for a semi-invariant Riemannian map to be totally geodesic. Then we study the geometry of umbilical semi-invariant Riemannian maps and obtain a classification theorem for such Riemannian maps.

The class of "commutative" D-operators, which was introduced in the first part of this paper, is generalized to obtain the "principal" class. It is established that principal D-operators are expressible in terms of covariant differentiation and a tensor field. Necessary and sufficient conditions are determined for the curvature operator to be tensorial, and for the scalar curvature to exist. As an application, the Einstein–Maxwell theory is recast in a new geometrical framework.

The main purpose of the present paper is to study the geometry of screen transversal lightlike submanifolds and radical screen transversal lightlike submanifolds and screen transversal anti-invariant lightlike submanifolds of Golden semi-Riemannian manifolds. We investigate the geometry of distributions and obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the induced connection on these manifolds to be metric connection. We also obtain characterizations of screen transversal anti-invariant lightlike submanifolds of Golden semi-Riemannian manifolds. Finally, we give two examples.

In this article, we study Jacobi-type vector fields on Riemannian manifolds. A Killing vector field is a Jacobi-type vector field while the converse is not true, leading to a natural question of finding conditions under which a Jacobi-type vector field is Killing. In this article, we first prove that every Jacobi-type vector field on a compact Riemannian manifold is Killing. Then, we find several necessary and sufficient conditions for a Jacobi-type vector field to be a Killing vector field on non-compact Riemannian manifolds. Further, we derive some characterizations of Euclidean spaces in terms of Jacobi-type vector fields. Finally, we provide examples of Jacobi-type vector fields on non-compact Riemannian manifolds, which are non-Killing.
