Abstract
Let M be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold and TM its tangent bundle. The conformal and fiber preserving vector fields on TM have well-known physical interpretations and have been studied by physicists and geometers using some Riemannian and pseudo-Riemannian lift metrics on TM. Here we consider the Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian lift metric G on TM which is in some senses more general than other lift metrics previously defined on TM, and seems to complete these works. Next we study the lift conformal vector fields on (TM,G).
