In this very clearly written paper some interesting Kähler structures are constructed on the tangent bundle \(TM\) of a Riemannian manifold \((M,g)\) of constant sectional curvature \(K=K_0<0\). First a symmetric \(M\)-tensor field (different from the Sasakian metric) is constructed on \(TM\) with the aid of two scalar functions \(u\) and \(v\) depending on the energy of \(g\) only. Under certain conditions on \(u\), \(g\) is positive definite. Moreover \(g\) is an Einstein metric on \(TM\). To this end an almost complex structure \(\mathcal J\) on \(TM\) is used which is related to \(g\), such that the structure will be a Kähler-Einstein structure if \(K_0<0\). The same result is obtained if \(K_0>0\), but only in a tube around the zero section of \(TM\). A surprising fact is that in the case of \(K_0<0\) the Kähler structure obtained is of constant holomorphic sectional curvature. The special cases of \(u\) and \(v\) are also investigated.
