Induced almost para-Kähler Einstein metrics on cotangent bundles

Abstract

In earlier work we have shown that for certain geometric structures on a smooth manifold $M$ of dimension $n$, one obtains an almost para-Kähler--Einstein metric on a manifold $A$ of dimension $2n$ associated to the structure on $M$. The geometry also associates a diffeomorphism between $A$ and $T^{\ast }M$ to any torsion-free connection compatible with the geometric structure. Hence we can use this construction to associate to each compatible connection an almost para-Kähler--Einstein metric on $T^{\ast }M$. In this short article, we discuss the relation of these metrics to Patterson--Walker metrics and derive explicit formulae for them in the cases of projective, conformal and Grassmannian structures.
