On the Geometry of Kobayashi–Nomizu Type and Yano Type Connections on the Tangent Bundle with Sasaki Metric

Abstract

In this paper, we address the study of the Kobayashi–Nomizu type and the Yano type connections on the tangent bundle TM equipped with the Sasaki metric. Then, we determine the curvature tensors of these connections. Moreover, we find conditions under which these connections are torsion-free, Codazzi, and statistical structures, respectively, with respect to the Sasaki metric. Finally, we introduce the mutual curvature tensor on a manifold. We investigate some of its properties; furthermore, we study mutual curvature tensors on a manifold equipped with the Kobayashi–Nomizu type and the Yano type connections.
