In this paper, we deal with a generalization of the geometry of parallelizable manifolds, or the absolute parallelism (AP-) geometry, in the context of generalized Lagrange spaces. All geometric objects defined in this geometry are not only functions of the positional argument $x$, but also depend on the directional argument $y$. In other words, instead of dealing with geometric objects defined on the manifold $M$, as in the case of classical AP-geometry, we are dealing with geometric objects in the pullback bundle $\pi^{-1}(TM)$ (the pullback of the tangent bundle $TM$ by $\pi: T M\longrightarrow M$). Many new geometric objects, which have no counterpart in the classical AP-geometry, emerge in this more general context. We refer to such a geometry as generalized AP-geometry (GAP-geometry). In analogy to AP-geometry, we define a $d$-connection in $\pi^{-1}(TM)$ having remarkable properties, which we call the canonical $d$-connection, in terms of the unique torsion-free Riemannian $d$-connection. In addition to these two $d$-connections, two more $d$-connections are defined, the dual and the symmetric $d$-connections. Our space, therefore, admits twelve curvature tensors (corresponding to the four defined $d$-connections), three of which vanish identically. Simple formulae for the nine non-vanishing curvatures tensors are obtained...

## Extended Absolute Parallelism Geometry

Youssef, Nabil. L.; Sid-Ahmed, A. M.
In this paper, we study Absolute Parallelism (AP-) geometry on the tangent bundle $TM$ of a manifold $M$. Accordingly, all geometric objects defined in this geometry are not only functions of the positional argument $x$, but also depend on the directional argument $y$. Moreover, many new geometric objects, which have no counterpart in the classical AP-geometry, emerge in this different framework. We refer to such a geometry as an Extended Absolute Parallelism (EAP-) geometry. The building blocks of the EAP-geometry are a nonlinear connection assumed given a priori and $2n$ linearly independent vector fields (of special form) defined globally on $TM$ defining the parallelization. Four different $d$-connections are used to explore the properties of this geometry. Simple and compact formulae for the curvature tensors and the W-tensors of the four defined $d$-connections are obtained, expressed in terms of the torsion and the contortion tensors of the EAP-space. Further conditions are imposed on the canonical $d$-connection assuming that it is of Cartan type (resp. Berwald type). Important consequences of these assumptions are investigated. Finally, a special form of the canonical $d$-connection is studied under which the classical AP-geometry is recovered naturally from the EAP-geometry. Physical aspects of some of the geometric objects investigated are pointed out and possible physical implications of the EAP-space are discussed...
