Abstract

In this paper we introduce the Cheeger-Gromoll type metric on the coframe bundle of a
Riemannian manifold and investigate the Levi-Civita connection, curvature tensor, sectional
curvature and geodesics of coframe bundle with this metric.

Keywords

Coframe bundle, adapted frame, Cheeger-Gromoll metric, Levi-Civita connection, curvature tensor, geodesics.
