Weighted metrics on tangent sphere bundies

Abstract: Natural metric structures on the tangent bundle and tangent sphere bundles

S_{r} M

of a Riemannian manifold

M

with radius function

r

enclose many important unsolved problems. Admitting metric connections on

M

with torsion, we deduce the equations of induced metric connections on those bundles. Then the equations of reducibility of

T M

to the almost Hermitian category. Our purpose is the study of the natural contact structure on

S_{r} M

and the

G_{2}

-twistor space of any oriented Riemannian 4-manifold.
