1. INTRODUCTION
If on an even dimensional manifold Vn, n = 2m of differentiability class C, there exists a vector valued
real linear function

, satisfying

2 = ar I n ,

(1.1a)

2 X = a r X , for arbitrary vector field X.

(1.1b)

where X = X , 0 r n and ' a ' is a real or imaginary number.

Then { } is said to give to Vn a Hsu-structure defined by the equations (1.1) and the manifold Vn is
called a Hsu-structure manifold.
Remark (1.1): The equation (1.1) a gives different structure for different values of ' a ' and 'r'.
If r = 0, it is an almost product structure, if a = 0, it is an almost tangent structure, if r = 1 and a = +1, it is an
almost product structure, if r = 1 and a = 1, it is an almost complex structure, if

r = 2 then it is a GF-structure

which includes -structure for a 0, an almost complex structure for a = i, an almost product structure for a =
1, an almost tangent structure for a =0.
Let the Hsu-structure be endowed with a metric tensor g, such that

g (X ,Y ) + a r g ( X , Y ) = 0 .
Then {, g} is said to give to Vn - metric Hsu-structure and Vn is called a metric Hsu-structure manifold.
Agreement(1.1): In what follows and the above, the equations containing X,Y,Z., etc. hold for these
arbitrary vector in Vn.
The curvature tensor K, a vector -valued tri-linear function w.r.t. the connexion D is given by

R( X , Y ) Z = D X DY Z DY D X Z D[ X ,Y ] Z ,

(1.2a)

where
[ X , Y ] = D X Y DY X .

(1.2b)

R (X , Y )Z = R ( X , Y )Z

(1.3)

The curvature tensor for the manifold of constant curvature tensor

is given by

R( X , Y )Z = H {g (Y , Z )X g ( X , Z )Y }

(1.4)

The Ricci tensor in Vn is given by

Ric(Y , Z ) = (C11R)(Y , Z ).

(1.5)

where by (C1 R)(Y , Z ) , we mean the contraction of R ( X , Y ) Z with respect to first slot.

For Ricci tensor, we also have

Ric(Y , Z ) = Ric(Z , Y ),

(1.6a)

Ric(Y , Z ) = g ( (Y ), Z ) = g (Y , (Z )),

THEOREM (2.1)
A Bochner flat Hsu-structure manifold V n if n 2 2na r n 2 a 2 r 5na 2 r 4 8a r 4a 2 r + 3n 0 is flat.
Proof: If the manifold is Bochner flat then from equaton (1.7), we get

(n + 4)R( X ,Y )Z = Ric(Y , Z )X Ric( X , Z )Y g( X , Z ) (Y ) + g(Y, Z ) ( X ) Ric(X , Z )Y + Ric(Y, Z )X g(X , Z ) (Y )

(2.1)

Now applying on X and Y in equation (2.1) and using equation (1.3), we get

(n + 4)R( X ,Y )Z = Ric(Y, Z )X Ric(X , Z )Y g(X , Z ) (Y ) + g(Y, Z ) (X ) Ric( 2 X , Z ) 2Y + Ric( 2Y, Z ) 2 X g( 2 X , Z ) ( 2Y )

(n

2na r n 2 a 2r 5na 2r 4 8a r 4a 2r + 3n k = 0

If n 2 2na r n 2 a 2 r 5na 2 r 4 8a r 4a 2 r + 3n 0
Then k = 0 .
Putting k = 0 in equation (2.5a), we get Ric=0, since n 2 2na r n 2 a 2 r 5na 2 r 4 8a r 4a 2 r + 3n 0 . Putting
k = 0 and Ric=0 in equation (2.1), we get R=0, which proves the statement.

[(

THEOREM (2.2): A H-Projectively flat Hsu-structure manifold V n , n 1 a 2r + a 2r 4a r 1 0 is flat.

Proof: If the manifold is H-Projectively flat then from equaton (1.8), we get

(n + 2 )R ( X , Y )Z = Ric (Y , Z )X Ric ( X , Z )Y Ric (Y , Z )X + Ric ( X , Z )Y + 2 Ric ( X , Y )Z

(2.6)

Now applying on X and Y in equation (2.6) and using equation (1.3), we get

(n + 2 )R ( X , Y )Z

= Ric (Y , Z )X Ric (X , Z )Y Ric (Y , Z ) 2 X + Ric (X , Z ) 2 Y + 2 Ric X , 2 Y Z

(2.7)

Comparing the equation (2.6) and (2.7) then we get

Ric(Y , Z )X Ric( X , Z )Y Ric(Y ,Z )X + Ric( X ,Z )Y + 2Ric( X ,Y )Z = Ric(Y , Z )X Ric(X , Z )Y Ric(Y , Z ) 2 X

+ Ric(X , Z ) 2Y + 2Ric X , 2Y Z .

(2.8)

Ric(Y , Z )X Ric( X , Z )Y Ric(Y , Z )X + Ric( X , Z )Y + 2Ric( X , Y )Z = Ric(Y , Z )X Ric(X , Z )Y a r Ric(Y ,Z )X

+ a r Ric(X , Z )Y + 2a r Ric(X , Y )Z .

(2.9)

Contracting of equation (2.9) w.r.t X, we get

{n(1 a ) 4a
2r

+ a 2r 1 Ric(Y , Z ) = 0 .

{(

From theorem if n 1 a 2r 4a r + a 2r 1 0
Hence Ric (Y , Z ) = 0 .
Now putting Ric = 0 in equation (2.6), we get R = 0 .
Hence the theorem.
THEOREM (2.3): A H-Conharmonically flat Hsu-structure manifold V n , n 1 2a r na 2 r a 2 r 0 is flat.
Proof: If the manifold is H-Conharmonically flat then from equation (1.9), we get

(n + 4)R( X ,Y )Z = Ric(Y, Z)X Ric( X , Z)Y Ric(X, Z)Y + Ric(Y, Z)X 2Ric(X ,Y )Z g( X, Z) (Y) + g(Y, Z) ( X )
g (X , Z ) (Y ) + g (Y , Z ) (X ) 2 g (X , Y ) (Z )

(2.10)

Now applying on X and Y in equation (2.10) and using equation (1.3), we get

Contracting the equation (2.15), we get

2 n 1 2a r na 2r a 2r k = 0

If n 1 2a r na 2r a 2r 0 , then k = 0 .

Putting k = 0 in equation (2.14), we get Ric=0, since n 1 2a r na 2r a 2r 0 . Putting k = 0 and Ric=0 in

equation (2.10), we get R=0, which proves the statement.
THEOREM (2.4): A H-Concircularlly flat Hsu-structure manifold V n , n 1 + 2a r + na 2 r + a 2 r is flat.
Proof: If the manifold is H-Concircularlly flat then from equation (1.10), we get

Now applying on X and Y in equation (2.16) and using equation (1.3), we get

Comparing equation (2.16) and (2.17) and using equation (1.3), we get
