Let \(M\) be a Riemannian manifold and \(T_rM\) the corresponding tangent sphere bundle with arbitrary constant radius \(r>0\). \(T_rM\) may be endowed with the induced Sasaki metric to become also a Riemannian manifold. The authors present some relations among the scalar curvature, the Ricci curvature and sectional curvature of \(T_rM\) with the radius \(r\). They also state basic facts related to the Sasaki metric \(\bar g\) on the tangent bundle \(TM\), its Levi-Civita connection and the metric on the hypersurface \(T_rM\subset(TM,\bar g)\). A brief sketch of the proofs and important comments to clarify the authors' results are also given. The full version has been published in Ann. Global Anal. Geom. 18, 207-219 (2000; Zbl 1011.53025).
