In this article, we consider a connection of vectorial type in some sense which is not a metric connection. We will then discuss when this connection $\tilde{\nabla}^*$ has parallel torsion T, that is, $\tilde{\nabla}^*T=0$.

We study the Dirac spectrum on compact Riemannian spin manifolds M equipped with a metric connection ${\nabla}$ with skew torsion $T{\in}{\Lambda}^3M$ in the situation where the tangent bundle splits under the holonomy of ${\nabla}$ and the torsion of ${\nabla}$ is of 'split' type. We prove an optimal lower bound for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator with torsion that generalizes Friedrich's classical Riemannian estimate.

Given a linear connection ∇ and its dual connection ∇^*, we discuss the situation where ∇ + ∇^* = 0. We also discuss statistical manifolds with torsion and give new examples of some type for linear connections inducing the statistical manifolds with non-zero torsion.

In this paper, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a left invariant connection in the tangent bundle over a closed Lie group with a left invariant metric to be a Yang-Mills connection. Moreover, we have a necessary and sufficient condition for a left invariant connection with a torsion-free Weyl structure in the tangent bundle over SU(2) with a left invariant Riemannian metric g to be a Yang-Mills connection.

In this paper, we study the Einstein multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and the multiply warped products with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection with constant scalar curvature, we apply our results to generalized Robertson-Walker spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and generalized Kasner spacetimes with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection and find some new examples of Einstein affine manifolds and affine manifolds with constant scalar curvature. We also consider the multiply warped products with an affine connection with a zero torsion.

Consider a Riemannian manifold M equipped with a metric g. In this article, we study a notion for statistical manifolds (M, g, ∇), which can have a nonzero torsion, abbreviated to SMT. Then it turns out that the tensor fields ∇g and ${\tilde{\nabla}}g$ obtained from two different SMT-connections are different.

The purpose of this paper is to introduce an L-metrical non-linear connection $N_j^{*i}$ and investigate a conformal change in the Finsler space with $({\alpha},\;{\beta})-metric$. The (v)h-torsion and (v)hvtorsion in the Finsler space with L-metrical connection $F{\Gamma}^*$ are obtained. The conformal invariant connection and conformal invariant curvature are found in the above Finsler space.

A canonical Finsler connection Nr is defined by a generalized Finsler structure called a (G, N)-structure, where G is a generalized Finsler metric and N is a nonlinear connection given in a differentiable manifold, respectively. If NT is linear, then the(G, N)-structure has a linearity in a sense and is called Berwaldian. In the present paper, we discuss what it means that NT is with a vanishing hv-torsion: ${P^{i}}\;_{jk}\;=\;0$ and introduce the notion of a stronger type for linearity of a (G, N)-structure. For important examples, we finally investigate the cases of a Finsler manifold and a Rizza manifold.

In this present paper, we study QSM-connection (quarter-symmetric metric connection) on Sasakian statistical manifolds. Firstly, we express the relation between the QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the torsion-free connection ∇ and obtain the relation between the curvature tensors ${\tilde{R}}$ of ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and R of ∇. After then we obtain these relations for ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the dual connection ∇^* of ∇. Also, we give the relations between the curvature tensor ${\tilde{R}}$ of QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the curvature tensors R and R^* of the connections ∇ and ∇^* on Sasakian statistical manifolds. We obtain the relations between the Ricci tensor of QSM-connection ${\tilde{\nabla}}$ and the Ricci tensors of the connections ∇ and ∇^*. After these, we construct an example of a 3-dimensional Sasakian manifold admitting the QSM-connection in order to verify our results. Finally, we study the submanifolds with the induced connection with respect to QSM-connection of statistical manifolds.

In this article, we show that a pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve in a normal almost contact metric 3-manifold equipped with the canonical affine connection ${\hat{\nabla}}^t$ is a slant helix with pseudo-Hermitian curvature ${\hat{\kappa}}={\mid}q{\mid}\;sin\;{\theta}$ and pseudo-Hermitian torsion ${\hat{\tau}}=q\;cos\;{\theta}$. Moreover, we prove that every pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve in normal almost contact metric 3-manifolds except quasi-Sasakian 3-manifolds is a slant helix as a Riemannian geometric sense. On the other hand we will show that a pseudo-Hermitian magnetic curve γ in a quasi-Sasakian 3-manifold M is a slant curve with curvature κ = |(t - α) cos θ + q| sin θ and torsion τ = α + {(t - α) cos θ + q} cos θ. These curves are not helices, in general. Note that if the ambient space M is an α-Sasakian 3-manifold, then γ is a slant helix.
