On the geometry of the Mus-Cheeger-Gromoll metric

Abstract

Let (M, g) be an n-dimensional smooth Riemannian manifold. In the present paper, we introduce a new class of natural metrics denoted by G and called the Mus-Cheeger-Gromoll metric on the tangent bundle TM. We calculate its Levi-Civita connection and Riemannian curvature tensor. Also, we study the geometry of (TM, G).
