Review text

An affine connection \(\Gamma\) on a vector bundle is called Riemann metrizable if there exists a Riemannian metric which preserves the scalar product of vector fields parallelly displaced with respect to \(\Gamma\). Let \(\eta\) be a vector bundle with the fibre \(V^r\) endowed with an affine connection \(H_\eta\). First, an affine connection \(H_\mu\) in the bundle \(\mu\) with the fibre \(V^{r^2}\) is derived from \(H_\eta\) and then, a connection \(H_\nu\) in the bundle \(\nu\) with the fibre \(E=\{\varepsilon\}\) where \(E\) is the manifold of ellipsoids in \(V^r\) centered at the origin of \(V^r\). The affine connection \(H_\eta\) is Riemann metrizable iff \(H_\nu\) is integrable. The construction of \(H_\mu\) and \(H_\nu\) has been discussed in detail in the previous papers [\textit{L. Tamássy} and \textit{L. Kozma}, Math. Panonica 6, 105-114 (1995; Zbl 0829.53020); \textit{L. Tamássy}, Balkan J. Geom. Appl. 1, 83-90 (1996; Zbl 0869.53046)]. The last section is devoted to Finsler vector bundles with a connection, a pre-Finsler connection and an ordinary affine connection derived from a Finsler connection [\textit{R. S. Ingarden}, \textit{M. Matsumoto} and \textit{L. Tamássy}, Nonlinear World 4, 85-99 (1997; Zbl 0899.53016)].
