Abstract

We define in this note a natural metric over the tangent bundle $TM$ by using a vertical deformation of Sasaki metric. First we present the geometric result concerning the Levi-Civita connection and all forms of Riemannian curvature tensors of this metric. Secondly, we study the geodesics on the tangent bundle $TM$ and unit tangent bundle $T_{1}M$. Finally, we characterize the geodesic curvatures on $T_{1}M$.
