Review text

Two remarkable linear connections, called { Schouten} and { Vrânceanu}, are studied in the framework of semi-Riemannian submersions, introduced by \textit{B. O'Neill} [``Semi-Riemannian Geometry. With applications to Relativity. Academic press (1983; Zbl 0531.53051)]. Among others, two results appear as very important: (i) the integrability of the horizontal distribution is characterized by the symmetry of these linear connections, (ii) the nonbasicity of the mean curvature vector field is measured by a Ricci tensor of the Vrânceanu connection. As examples are considered tangent bundles, warped products and Lorentzian Clairaut submersions with \(1\)-dimensional fibers.
