Vertical rescaled Cheeger-Gromoll metric and harmonicity on the cotangent bundle
A. Zagane, A. Gezer
In this paper, we introduce the harmonicity on the cotangent bundle equipped
with vertical rescaled Cheeger-Gromoll metric which rescales the vertical
part by a non-zero differentiable function $f$. We establish a necessary and
sufficient condition under which a covector field is harmonic with respect
to this metric. We also construct some examples of harmonic vector fields.
Finally, we study the harmonicity of a map between a Riemannian manifold and
a cotangent bundle of another Riemannian manifold and vice versa.
