Metrics and Connections on the Bundle of Affinor Frames

Chinese Annals of Mathematics, Series B volume 42, pages 121–134 (2021)Cite this article

Abstract

In this paper the authors consider the bundle of affinor frames over a smooth manifold, define the Sasaki metric on this bundle, and investigate the Levi-Civita connection of Sasaki metric. Also the authors determine the horizontal lifts of symmetric linear connection from a manifold to the bundle of affinor frames and study the geodesic curves corresponding to the horizontal lift of the linear connection.
