On a class of even-dimensional manifolds structured by an affine connection (Q1607903)

In the paper of I. Mihai, I. Verstraelen and R. Rosca (1996) a class of odd-dimensional manifolds endowed with a \({\mathcal T}\)-parallel connection was investigated. In this paper the authors assume that the \(2m\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) carries a structure vector field \({\mathcal T}(T^a)\) which defines a \({\mathcal T}\)-parallel connection in the sense of the note realised by R. Rosca (1979). The conclusion of this paper is formulated in the following theorem: Let \((M,g)\) be a \(2n\)-dimensional Riemannian manifold structured by an affine connection defined by the torsion 2-forms \(S^A\), \(A= 1, \dots,2m\). Let \((T^a)\) be a structure vector field, which defines a \({\mathcal T}\)-parallel connection and assume that \(S^A\) are exterior recurrent, having \({\mathcal T}^k\) as recurrence form. Then the following properties hold: (i) \({\mathcal T}\) is both a torse forming and an exterior concurrent vector field. (ii) The structure curvature 2-forms \(\Theta^A_B\) are exterior recurrent with the closed Pfaffian \(2(u+\alpha)\) as recurrence form. (iii) The manifold \(M\) is endowed with a conformal symplectic structure \(\Omega\) having \(u+\alpha\) as covector of Lee. (iv) The vector field \({\mathcal T}\) defines a relative conformal transformation of \(\Omega\), that is, \(d{\mathcal L}_{\mathcal T}\Omega=8tu\wedge\Omega\), where \(2t=\|{\mathcal T}\|^2\).
