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.

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.

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).

Let $M$ be a Riemannian submanifold of a Riemannian manifold $\tilde M$ equipped with a concurrent vector field $\tilde Z$. Let $Z$ denote the restriction of $\tilde Z$ along $M$ and let $Z^T$ be the tangential component of $Z$ on $M$, called the canonical vector field of $M$. The 2-distance function $\delta^2_Z$ of $M$ (associated with $Z$) is defined by $\delta^2_Z=\$. In this article, we initiate the study of submanifolds $M$ of $\tilde M$ with incompressible canonical vector field $Z^T$ arisen from a concurrent vector field $\tilde Z$ on the ambient space $\tilde M$. First, we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions for such canonical vector fields to be incompressible. In particular, we prove that the 2-distance function $\delta^2_Z$ is harmonic if and only if the canonical vector field $Z^T$ on $M$ is an incompressible vector field. Then we provide some applications of our main results.

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.

In this paper, the theory of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is systematically presented as a new theory for the first time, which helps one rethink the existing theories of stability and control in dynamical systems. The concept of flow barriers in discontinuous dynamical systems is introduced, and the passability of a flow to the separation boundary with flow barriers is presented. Because the flow barriers exist on the separation boundary, the switchability of a flow to such a separation boundary is changed accordingly. The coming and leaving flow barriers in passable flows are discussed first, and the necessary and sufficient conditions for a flow to pass through the boundary with flow barrier are developed. Flow barriers for sink and source flows are also discussed. Once the sink flow is formed, the boundary flow will exist. When the boundary flow disappears from the boundary, the boundary flow barrier on the boundary may exist, which is independent of vector fields in the corresponding domains. Thus, the necessary and sufficient conditions for formations and vanishing of the boundary flow are developed. A periodically forced friction model is presented as an example for a better understanding of flow barrier existence in physical problems. The flow barrier theory presented in this paper may provide a theoretic base to further develop control theory and stability.

On η-Einstein Trans-Sasakian ManifoldsA systematic study of η-Einstein trans-Sasakian manifold is performed. We find eight necessary and sufficient conditions for the structure vector field ζ of a trans-Sasakian manifold to be an eigenvector field of the Ricci operator. We show that for a 3-dimensional almost contact metric manifold (M,φ, ζ, η, g), the conditions of being normal, trans-K-contact, trans-Sasakian are all equivalent to ∇ζ ∘ φ = φ ∘ ∇ζ. In particular, the conditions of being quasi-Sasakian, normal with 0 = 2β = divζ, trans-K-contact of type (α, 0), trans-Sasakian of type (α, 0), andC6-class are all equivalent to ∇ ζ = -αφ, where 2α = Trace(φ∇ζ). In last, we give fifteen necessary and sufficient conditions for a 3-dimensional trans-Sasakian manifold to be η-Einstein.

In this article, we show that the presence of a torqued vector field on a Riemannian manifold can be used to obtain rigidity results for Riemannian manifolds of constant curvature. More precisely, we show that there is no torqued vector field on n-sphere Sn(c). A nontrivial example of torqued vector field is constructed on an open subset of the Euclidean space En whose torqued function and torqued form are nowhere zero. It is shown that owing to topology of the Euclidean space En, this type of torqued vector fields could not be extended globally to En. Finally, we find a necessary and sufficient condition for a torqued vector field on a compact Riemannian manifold to be a concircular vector field.
