Abstract: We extend to manifolds endowed with a general geometric structure, the classical notions of gradient as well as Laplace operator, and provide some of their natural properties.

Review text

The author introduces and studies two classes of differential operators generated by geometric structures (that is, non-degenerate \((0,2)\)-tensor fields) on general connected, Hausdorff, paracompact and smooth manifolds. The first class of operators extends the concepts of gradient vector field from Riemannian or semi-Riemannian geometry, and Hamiltonian vector field from symplectic geometry. The second class of operators generalizes the Laplace-Beltrami operator from Riemannian geometry, and the d'Alembert operator from Lorentzian geometry.
