We discuss transverse harmonic fields on compact foliated Riemannian manifolds, and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a transverse field to be a transverse harmonic one and the non-existence of transverse harmonic fields. 1. On a foliated Riemannian manifold, geometric transverse fields, that is, transverse Killing, affine, projective, conformal fields were discussed by Kamber and Tondeur([3]), Molino ([5], [6]), Pak and Yorozu ([7]) and others. If the foliation is one by points, then transverse fields are usual fields on Riemannian manifolds. Thus it is natural to extend well known results concerning those fields on Riemannian manifolds to foliated cases. On the other hand, the following theorem is well known ([1], [10]): If the Ricci operator in a compact Riemannian manifold M is non-negative everywhere, then a harmonic vector field in M has a vanishing covariant derivative. If the Ricci operator in M is positive-definite, then a harmonic vector field other than zero does not exist in M.

The notion of the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold admitting an almost complex structure $f^i_j(x)$ was, for the first time, introduced by G. B. Rizza [8]. It is known that the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold (or a Rizza manifold) has been studied by Y. Ichijyo [2] and H. Hukui [1]. In those papers, the almost Hermitian Finsler manifold which the h-covariant derivative of the almost complex structure $f^i_j(x)$ with respect to the Cartan's Finsler connection vanishes was defined as the Kaehlerian Finsler manifold. The nearly Kaehlerian Finsler manifold was defined and studied by the former of authors [7]. The present paper is the continued study of above paper.

Recently one of the present authors [2] asserted that a real hypersurface of a complex space form M$^{n}$ (c), c.neq.0, is of cyclic parallel if and only if AJ=JA and he showed also a complete and connected cyclic-parallel real hypersurface of M$^{n}$ (c), is congruent to type $A_{1}$, $A_{2}$ or A according as c>0 or c<0. A real hypersurface of a complex space form M$^{n}$ (c) is said to be covariantly cyclic constant if the cyclic sum of covariant derivative of the second fundamental form is constant. The purpose of the present paper is to extend theorem 3 and 4 in [2] when the hypersurfaces are of coveriantly cyclic constant, that is a real hypersurface of a complex space form M$^{n}$ (c), c.neq.0, is of covariantly cyclic constant if an only if AJ=JA, and a complete and connected covariantly cyclic constant real hypersurface of M$^{n}$ (c) is congruent to type $A_{1}$, $A_{2}$ or a according as c>0 or c<0.

We study almost complex metallic Norden manifolds and their adapted connections with respect to an almost complex metallic Norden structure. We study various connections like special connection of the first type, special connection of the second type, Kobayashi-Nomizu metallic Norden type connection, Yano metallic Norden type connection etc., on almost complex metallic Norden manifolds. We establish classifications of almost complex metallic Norden manifolds by using covariant derivative of the almost complex metallic Norden structure and also by using torsion tensor on the canonical connections.

The Cartan's second curvature tensor Pⁱ_jkh is a positively homogeneous of degree-1 in yⁱ, where yⁱ represent a directional coordinate for the line element in Finsler space. In this paper, we discuss the decomposition of Cartan's second curvature tensor Pⁱ_jkh in two spaces, a generalized 𝔅P-recurrent space and generalized 𝔅P-birecurrent space. We obtain different tensors which satisfy the recurrence and birecurrence property under the decomposition. Also, we prove the decomposition for different tensors are non-vanishing. As an illustration of the applicability of the obtained results, we finish this work with some illustrative examples.
