Özet

Let $(M,nabla)$ be an $n$-dimensional differentiable manifold with a torsion-free linear connection and $T^{*}M$ its cotangent bundle. In this context we study some properties of the natural Riemann extension (M. Sekizawa (1987), O. Kowalski and M. Sekizawa (2011)) on the cotangent bundle $T^{*}M$. First, we give an alternative definition of the natural Riemann extension with respect to horizontal and vertical lifts. Secondly, we investigate metric connection for the natural Riemann extension. Finally, we present geodesics on the cotangent bundle $T^{*}M$ endowed with the natural Riemann extension.
