Study on differential geometry of tangent bundles of Riemannian manifolds, introducing natural Riemannian metrics.
Abstract
H.Poincare used the tangent sphere-bundles of ovaloids in three dimensional Euclidean space, i.e. the phase spaces of the ovaloids, to prove the existence of certain closed geodesies on the ovaloids. He introduced a Riemannian metric on the tangent sphere-bundles and considered the geodesic flow on it. As the metric of tangent bundles of Riemannian manifolds seems to be important, we would like to study differential geometry of tangent bundles of Riemannian manifolds by introducing on it natural Riemannian metrics. In this papar we shall do it by restricting ourselves only to the tangent bundles T{M).
