Abstract

Let  be an n-dimensional Riemannian manifold, and  be its tangent bundle with the lift metric. Then every infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformation  induces an infinitesimal homothetic transformation on .  Furthermore,  the correspondence   gives a homomorphism of the Lie algebra of infinitesimal fiber-preserving conformal transformations on  onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal homothetic transformations on , and the kernel of this homomorphism is naturally isomorphic onto the Lie algebra of infinitesimal isometries of .
