1. Introduction
The study of connection has been the field of interest for most of the mathematicians. The study of connections, semi symmetric connection was done in detail by Yano [1] followed by Konar and Chaki [2], De and Biswas [3], Pandey and Dubey [4], Pandey and Chaturvedi [5], Andonie [6] and many more, Quarter symmetric connection by Golab [7], Rastogi [8], Mishra and Pandey [9] [10], Biswas and De [11], De and Sengupta [12]. Quarter symmetric non-metric connection was studied in Riemannian, Kaehlerian and Sasakian manifolds. Quarter symmetric non-metric connection was studied in detail by Bhowmik [13], Mondal and De [14], Haseeb, Prakash and Siddiqi [15]. Kankarej [16] has studied the quarter symmetric non-metric connection in almost Hermitian Manifold. In this research three new types of connection have been discussed in almost Hermitian Manifold and the necessary and sufficient condition for it to be a metric has been discussed. A new metric has been defined and some additional properties with respect to the new metric is discussed.
This research has been divided in different sections. First section introduces some elementary definitions. Second section shows the relation between linear connection and Riemannian connection. Section three introduces some new connections in almost Hermitian Manifold and also the necessary conditions for new connections to be metric are established. Section four introduces a new metric
. Later in the same section some properties of new connections are proved with respect to new metric. In section five, Hessian operator is defined on all the connections established in section three.
Definition 1.1.
An even dimensional
differentiable manifold
is said to be an almost complex manifold (of class
) if there exists a vector valued real linear function f of differentiable class
satisfying
for any vector field X, f is said to give an almost complex structure on
.
Definition 1.2.
A metric g on an almost complex manifold
is said to be a Hermite metric if
.
It is always possible to introduce a Hermite metric on an almost complex manifold.
An almost complex manifold
endowed with an almost complex structure F and a Hermite metric g is called an almost Hermite manifold with structure
if
(1.1)
and
, (1.2)
where
, F is a tensor of type (1,1), g is a metric tensor and
are arbitrary vector fields.
Definition 1.3.
In an almost Hermitian manifold there exists a unique torsion free metric connection D which is called Riemannian connection.
Riemannian connection D on an n-dimensional
Riemannian Manifold
is said to be a quarter symmetric connection if the torsion tensor S of D satisfies
(1.3)
where
is a tensor field of type
and
is a 1-form associated with vector field
(1.4)
If the quarter symmetric connection D satisfies:
(1.5)
where
.
then the connection D is said to be quarter symmetric metric connection, otherwise it is said to be a quarter symmetric non-metric connection.
Definition 1.4.
A necessary and sufficient condition that vector field X on a Riemannian Manifold
is a Killing vector is that
(1.6)
for any vector fields Y and Z. The connection D is unique in Riemannian manifold and is also called Levi-Civita connection on
.

3. Some Connections on an Almost Hermite Manifold
Theorem 3.1. Let
be the linear connection and D be a Riemannian connection of a Hermite manifold
such that
(3.1)
where is a 1-form associated with vector field
and X and Y are vector fields. Then

From (3.2) and (3.3) we have
(3.4)
(2.2) and (3.4) show

from (3.6).
Theorem 3.3. Let

From (2.1) and (3.7) we have

Interchanging X and Y we have
(3.9)
From (3.8) and (3.9)
which proves

Theorem 3.4. The necessary and sufficient condition for

(3.10)
Proof: We know
As D is a Riemannian connection
(3.11)
It proves that

(3.16)
By the property of

4. Existence of a New Metric
Theorem 4.1. If there exist a quarter symmetric non metric connection in
then there exist another metric
such that the connection is metric in
.
Proof: Let us define a metric
in the Hermitian metric such that:
(4.1)
Then using
,
We know
As D is a Riemannian connection
Using (3.16)
By the property of

By theorem 3.5, we have
.
Thus we have proved that if there is a connection,
in
which is not metric then it is metric in
.
Necessary and sufficient condition for
to be metric is:
Theorem 4.2. For every quarter symmetric metric connection
in
there exist a unique connection
such that it is quarter symmetric also.
Proof: Let us assume that

and define a connection
such that
(4.2)
Let us check if

By the assumption made in connection 4 implies that
As g is a metric so,
.
So,
.
This proves that
.
Hence there exist a unique connection on
which is metric and quarter symmetric.
5. Hessian Operator on Different Connections
In this section we introduce the notion of hessian operator on different connections.
Definition 5.1. The Hessian of a smooth function
on a smooth manifold with a connection
is the covariant derivative of the function f, such that
(5.1)
so that
, it is a (0,2) tensor field on
.
For any two vector fields X and Y on
, we have a smooth real valued function.
on manifold
, which is a bilinear function.
It is defined as
(5.2)
Theorem 5.1. For every connection in an almost hermitian manifold there exist a unique hessian operator.
Proof: Let us define connection
and
as mentioned above in (3.1), (3.7) and (3.12). Then we have
By (5.2) we can say that for a Riemannian connection D in an almost hermitian manifold we have
(5.3)
The hessian operator for connection (3.1) corresponds
using (5.3) and property of 1-form
.
Thus for connection in (3.1) above theorem holds true.
The hessian operator for connection (3.7) corresponds
using (5.3) and property of 1-form
.
Thus for connection in (3.7) above theorem holds true.
The hessian operator for connection (3.12) corresponds
using (5.3) and property of 1-form
and the tensor field
of type (1,1).
Thus for connection in (3.12) above theorem holds true.
6. Conclusion
Thus in this paper I have introduced three new kind of connections
,
,
and proved the necessary conditions for all to be metric are discussed. Also I have proved that in almost Hermitian manifold linear connection is unique by introducing a new metric
. It is also discussed that Hessian operator in almost hermitian manifold is unique.
