We show that the Riemannian geometry of a tangent sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) of constant radius $\gamma$ reduces essentially to the one of unit tangent sphere bundle of a Riemannian manifold equipped with the respective induced Sasaki metrics. Further, we provide some applications of this theorem on the $\eta$-Einstein tangent sphere bundles and certain related topics to the tangent sphere bundles.

In this paper, we study the pseudo-symmetry of unit tangent sphere bundle. We prove that if the unit tangent sphere bundle $T_1M$ with standard contact metric structure over a locally symmetric $M^n$, $n{\geq}3$ is pseudo-symmetric, then M is of constant curvature.

We shall give some curvature conditions for the unit tangent sphere bundle of an n($\geq$ 4)-dimensional Riemannian manifold to be H-contact. Furthermore, we provide an example illustrating Main Theorem.

We present explicit formulas for the spectra of higher spin operators on the subbundle of the bundle of spinor-valued trace free symmetric tensors that are annihilated by Clifford multiplication over the standard sphere in odd dimension. In the even dimensional case, we give the spectra of the square of such operators. The Dirac and Rarita-Schwinger operators are zero-form and one-form cases, respectively. We also give eigenvalue formulas for the conformally invariant differential operators of all odd orders on the subbundle of the bundle of spinor-valued forms that are annihilated by Clifford multiplication in both even and odd dimensions on the sphere.

We study the characteristic Jacobi operator ${\ell}={\bar{R}({\cdot},{\xi}){\xi}$ (along the Reeb flow ${\xi}$) on the unit tangent sphere bundle $T_1M$ over a Riemannian manifold ($M^n$, g). We prove that if ${\ell}$ is pseudo-parallel, i.e., ${\bar{R}{\cdot}{\ell}=L{\mathcal{Q}}({\bar{g}},{\ell})$, by a non-positive function L, then M is locally flat. Moreover, when L is a constant and $n{\neq}16$, M is of constant curvature 0 or 1.

We characterize two-point homogeneous spaces M by means of the structural operator $h={\frac{1}{2}}{\mathcal{L}}_{\xi}{\phi}$ or the characteristic Jacobi operator ${\ell}=R({\cdot},{\xi}){\xi}$ on the unit tangent sphere bundles $T_1M$.

We give characterizations of locally symmetric spaces M via the structural operator $h={\frac{1}{2}{\mathcal{L}}_{\xi}{\phi}}$ or the characteristic Jacobi operator ℓ = R(·, ξ)ξ on the unit tangent sphere bundles T1M.

Let $\pi : Z \longrightarrow Y$ be a fiber bundle where Y and Z are compact Riemannian manifolds without boundary. We are primarily interested in the case where $\pi$ is a Riemannian submersion with minimal fibers; this is the case, for example, where Z is the sphere bundle of some vector bundle over Y or where Z is a principal bundle over Y.

We determine the largest integer i such that $0 and the coefficient of $t^{i}$ is odd in the polynomial $(1+t+t^{2}+{\cdots}+t^{n})^{n+1}$. We apply this to prove that the co-index of the tangent bundle over $FP^{n}$ is stable if $2^{r}{\leq}n<2^{r}+\frac{1}{3}(2^{r}-2)$ for some integer r.

In this paper, we study the unit tangent sphere bundles T$_1$M(4c) of complex space forms M(4c) with constant holomorphic sectional curvature 4c. In particular, we determine T$_1$M(4c) whose Ricci tensors satisfy the Einstein-like conditions.
