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 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.

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.

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.

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.

For unit tangent sphere bundles $T_1M$ with the standard contact metric structure (${\eta},\bar{g},{\phi},{\xi}$), we have two fundamental operators that is, $h=\frac{1}{2}{\pounds}_{\xi}{\phi}$ and ${\ell}=\bar{R}({\cdot},{\xi}){\xi}$, where ${\pounds}_{\xi}$ denotes Lie differentiation for the Reeb vector field ${\xi}$ and $\bar{R}$ denotes the Riemmannian curvature tensor of $T_1M$. In this paper, we study the Reeb ow invariancy of the corresponding (0, 2)-tensor fields H and L of h and ${\ell}$, respectively.

Met $\tilde{M} = (\tilde{M}, \tilde{J}, <>)$ be an almost Hermitian manifold and M a submanifold of $\tilde{M}$. According to the behavior of the tangent bundle TM with respect to the action of $\tilde{J}$, we have two typical classes of submanifolds. One of them is the class of almost complex submanifolds and another is the class of totally real submanifolds. In 1990, B. Y. Chen [4], [5] introduced the concept of the class of slant submanifolds which involve the above two classes. He used the Wirtinger angle to measure the behavior of TM with respect to the action of $\tilde{J}$.
