Let G be a compact connected semisimple Lie group, B the Killing form of the algebra g of G, and g the invariant metric induced by B. Then, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) to be projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl). And, we also get that if a left invariant linear connection D with a Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) which has symmetric Ricci tensor $Ric^D$ is projectively flat, then the connection D is Einstein-Weyl; but the converse is not true. Moreover, we show that if a left invariant connection D with Weyl structure ($D,\;g,\;{\omega}$) on (G, g) is projectively flat (resp. Einstein-Weyl), then D is a Yang-Mills connection.

We study some properties of a semi-Riemannian submanifold of a semi-Riemannian manifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection. Then, we prove that the Ricci tensor of a semi-Riemannian submanifold of a semi-Riemannian space form admitting a semi-symmetric non-metric connection is symmetric but is not parallel. Last, we give the conditions under which a totally umbilical semi-Riemannian submanifold with a semi-symmetric non-metric connection is projectively flat.

The aim of the present paper is to study the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifold endowed with semi-symmetric metric connections admitting ${\eta}$-Ricci Solitons and Ricci Solitons. We find expressions for the curvature tensor, the Ricci curvature tensor and the scalar curvature tensor of ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection. Also, we discuses some results on quasi-projectively flat and ${\phi}$-projectively flat manifolds endowed with a semi-symmetric-metric connection. It is shown that the manifold satisfying ${\bar{R}}.{\bar{S}}=0$, ${\bar{P}}.{\bar{S}}=0$ is an ${\eta}$-Einstein manifold. Moreover, we obtain the conditions for the ${\delta}$-Lorentzian trans-Sasakian manifolds with a semisymmetric-metric connection to be conformally flat and ${\xi}$-conformally flat.

The ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metric is a Finsler metric which is constructed from a Riemannian metric $\alpha$ and a differential 1-from $\beta$;it has been sometimes treated in theoretical physics. The condition for a Finsler space with an ($\alpha$,$\beta$)-metric L($\alpha$,$\beta$) to be projectively flat was given by Matsumoto [11]. The present paper is devoted to studying the condition for a Finsler space with L=$\alpha$\ulcorner$\beta$\ulcorner or L=$\alpha$+$\beta$\ulcorner/$\alpha$ to be projectively flat on the basis of Matsumoto`s results.

The object of the present paper is to study a semi-symmetric metric connection in an (${\varepsilon}$)-Kenmotsu manifold. In this paper, we study a semi-symmetric metric connection in an (${\varepsilon}$)-Kenmotsu manifold whose projective curvature tensor satisfies certain curvature conditions.

In this paper, we shall prove several results concerning Ricci curvature of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) := (SU(2), g) with an arbitrary given left invariant metric g. First of all, we obtain the maximum (resp. minimum) of {r(X) := Ric(X,X) | ${||X||}_g$ = 1,X ${\in}$ X(M)}, where Ric is the Ricci tensor field on (M, g), and then get a necessary and sufficient condition for the Levi-Civita connection ${\nabla}$ on the manifold (M, g) to be projectively flat. Furthermore, we obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for the Ricci curvature r(X) to be always positive (resp. negative), independently of the choice of unit vector field X.

Let G be a compact and connected semisimple Lie group, H a closed subgroup, g (resp. h) the Lie algebra of G (resp. H), B the Killing form of g, g the normal metric on the homogeneous space G/H which is induced by -B. Let D be an invarint connection with Weyl structure (D, g, ${\omega}$) in the tangent bundle over the normal homogeneous Riemannian manifold (G/H, g) which is projectively flat. Then, the affine connection D on (G/H, g) is a Yang-Mills connection if and only if D is the Levi-Civita connection on (G/H, g).
