Geometry in the Cartan spaces (Q1280865): Difference between revisions

A Cartan space is defined as a pair \((V_n, H)\), where \(V_n\) is a differentiable manifold, \(H: T^*V_n\to R\) is a function of the local coordinates \((x^i,y_i)\) of \(T^*V_n\), such that \(H\) is 2-homogeneous with respect to \(y_i\), and rank \(\|\frac{\partial^2 H}{\partial y_i\partial y_j} \|=n\). For these spaces, the author studies the nonlinear connections and linear connections on \(T^*V_n\). Applying these results to the Cartan spaces, he determines the so-called Miron connection and the metrical connections with respect to the fundamental tensor of the considered space. Taking the lifts of tensors to \(T^*V_n\) one determines the Levi-Civita connection for the metric structure on the total space of the cotangent bundle \(T^*V_n\), as well as the almost product structure, almost complex structure and almost tangent structure on \(T^*V_n\).
