We develop the method of anholonomic frames with associated nonlinear connection (in brief, N--connection) structure and show explicitly how geometries with local anisotropy (various type of Finsler--Lagrange--Cartan--Hamilton geometry) can be modeled in the metric--affine spaces. There are formulated the criteria when…

For a system of second order differential equations we determine a nonlinear connection that is compatible with a given generalized Lagrange metric. Using this nonlinear connection, we can find the whole family of metric nonlinear connections that can be associated with a system of SODE and a generalized Lagrange struc…

We formulate an approach to the geometry of Riemann-Cartan spaces provided with nonholonomic distributions defined by generic off-diagonal and nonsymmetric metrics inducing effective nonlinear and affine connections. Such geometries can be modelled by moving nonholonomic frames on (pseudo) Riemannian manifolds and desc…

We address the question: how large is the family of complete metrics with nonnegative sectional curvature on S^2xR^3? We classify the connection metrics, and give several examples of non-connection metrics. We provide evidence that the family is small by proving some rigidity results for metrics more general than conne…

The paper investigates compatible linear connections on Randers spaces and finds a unique extremal connection.

The present study initially identify the generalized symmetric connections of type $(α,β)$, which can be regarded as more generalized forms of quarter and semi-symmetric connections. The quarter and semi-symmetric connections are obtained respectively when $(α,β)=(1,0)$ and $(α,β)=(0,1)$. Taking that into account, a ne…

We discuss and investigate the problem of existence of metric-compatible linear connections for a given space-time metric which is, generally, assumed to be semi-pseudo-Riemannian. We prove that under sufficiently general conditions such connections exist iff the rank and signature of the metric are constant. On this b…

As is well known, a metric on a manifold determines a unique symmetric connection for which the metric is parallel: the Levi-Civita connection. In this paper we investigate the inverse problem: to what extent is the metric of a Riemannian manifold determined by its Levi-Civita connection? It is shown that for a generic…

There are introduced and studied a pair of associated Schouten-van Kampen affine connections adapted to the contact distribution and an almost contact B-metric structure generated by the pair of associated B-metrics and their Levi-Civita connections. By means of the constructed non-symmetric connections, the basic clas…

Paper derives inequalities for submanifolds in a specific geometric space.

We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the bi-Legendrian connection $\nabla$ associated to a bi-Legendrian structure $(\cal F,\cal G)$ on a contact metric manifold $(M,φ,ξ,η,g)$ being a metric connection and then we give conditions ensuring that $\nabla$ coincides with the (generalized) Tanaka-Webster connecti…

A locally metric connection on a smooth manifold $M$ is a torsion-free connection $D$ on $TM$ with compact restricted holonomy group $\mathrm{Hol}_0(D)$. If the holonomy representation of such a connection is irreducible, then $D$ preserves a conformal structure on $M$. Under some natural geometric assumption on the li…

The study allows for connected sums in manifolds with positive intermediate Ricci curvature.

Dunkl connections on complex plane don't preserve metrics.

We consider the more general question as to when a connection is a metric connection. There are two aspects to this investigation: first, the determination of the integrability conditions that ensure the existence of a local parallel metric in the neighbourhood of a given point and second, the characterization of the t…

We prove a Berger-type theorem which asserts that if the orthogonal subgroup generated by the torsion tensor (pulled back to a point by parallel transport) of a metric connection with skew-symmetric torsion is not transitive on the sphere, then the space must be locally isometric to a Lie group with a bi-invariant metr…

We define a class of metrics that extend the Sasaki metric of a tangent manifold of a Riemannian manifold. The new metrics are obtained by the transfer of the generalized (pseudo-)Riemannian metrics of the pullback of the big tangent bundle of a manifold to the tangent manifold. We obtain the expression of the transfer…

The present note deals with the dynamics of metric connections with vectorial torsion, as already described by E. Cartan in 1925. We show that the geodesics of metric connections with vectorial torsion defined by gradient vector fields coincide with the Levi-Civita geodesics of a conformally equivalent metric. By pullb…

We prove that the Einstein equations can be solved in a very general form for arbitrary spacetime dimensions and various types of vacuum and non-vacuum cases following a geometric method of anholonomic frame deformations for constructing exact solutions in gravity. The main idea of this method is to introduce on (pseud…
