Quarter-symmetric metric connection on a Sasakian manifold. (English) Zbl 1025.53013

A linear metric connection on a Riemannian manifold \(M\) is called quarter-symmetric if its torsion tensor \(T\) satisfies \(T(X,Y) = \pi(Y)F(X) - \pi(X)F(Y)\) with some one-form \(\pi\) and \((1,1)\)-tensor field \(F\) on \(M\). The authors investigate the existence problem of quarter-symmetric metric connections and study curvature properties of such connections on Sasakian manifolds.
