1. Introduction and Preliminaries
Differentiable manifolds with a non-symmetric metric tensor, with a non-symmetric affine connection and their mappings were, and still are, the subject of interest of many scientists [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14]. The use of a non-symmetric basic tensor and non-symmetric connection became especially relevant after the appearance of the works of A. Einstein related to creating the unified field theory, where the symmetric part of the basic tensor is related to gravitation, and the antisymmetric one to electromagnetism. We can say that, after A. Einstein [15,16], the main steps were made by L. P. Eisenhart [17,18].
Geometric mappings are interesting, both theoretically and practically. Geodesic and almost geodesic lines play an important role in geometry and physics [1,2,6,19]. The movement of many types of mechanical systems, as well as bodies or particles in gravitational or electromagnetic fields, in continual constant surroundings, is often conducted in paths, which can be looked upon as geodesic lines of Riemannian or affine connected spaces, which are defined by the energetic regime along which the process takes place. So, for example, two Riemannian spaces, which admit reciprocal geodesic mapping, describe processes which are unfolded by an equivalent exterior load and equal orbit, but different energetic regimes. In this case, one of these processes can be modeled by another. During recent years, many papers have been devoted to the theory of holomorphically projective mappings; let us mention J. Mikeš, S.M. Minčić, M.S. Stanković, Lj. S. Velimirović, M. Lj. Zlatanović, etc. [7,12,13,14,19]. This paper is a natural continuation of the research published in paper [20] in which biholomorphically projective mappings were studied, and they can be observed as a kind of generalization of holomorphically projective mappings.
A generalized Riemannian space in the sense of Eisenhart’s definition [18] is a differentiable N-dimensional manifold, equipped with a non-symmetric metric tensor . The connection coefficients of the space are the generalized Cristoffel’s symbols of the second kind [19]:
where , and
where, for example, . We suppose that , . In the general case, the connection coefficients are not symmetric, i.e., , and they can be represented as the sum of the symmetric and antisymmetric parts
where the symmetric and antisymmetric part of are given by the formulas
The magnitude is the torsion tensor of the space .
In a generalized Riemannian space, one can define four kinds of covariant derivatives [9]. For example, for a tensor in we have
where () denotes a covariant derivative of the kind and .
In the case of the space , we have twelve curvature tensors, and S. M. Minčić proved that there are five independent ones. In this paper, we will consider the following five independent curvature tensors [9]:
Let and be two generalized Riemannian spaces. We will observe these spaces in the common system of coordinates defined by the mapping If and are connection coefficients of the spaces and , respectively, then
is the deformation tensor of the connection for a mapping f.
The relations between the corresponding curvature tensors of the spaces and are obtained in [19] as follows:
where is a deformation tensor for a mapping f, is its antisymmetric part and is a torsion tensor.
2. Quasi-Canonical Biholomorphically Projective Mappings
In paper [20], we define biholomorphically projective mappings between two generalized Riemannian spaces and with almost complex structures that are equal in a common system of coordinates defined by the mapping . We have considered a generalized Riemannian space with a non-symmetric metric tensor and almost complex structure such that where a is scalar invariant, and we have defined the biholomorphically projective curve of the kind and the biholomorphically projective mapping of the kind .
Definition 1
([20]). In the space , a curve l given in parametric form
is said to be biholomorphically projective of the kind θ if it satisfies the following equation:
where a, b and c are functions of parameter t, and
Definition 2
([20]). A diffeomorphism is a biholomorphically projective mapping of the kind if biholomorphically projective curves of the kind of the space are mapped to the biholomorphically projective curves of the kind θ of the space .
Since it holds [20]
we conclude that the biholomorphically projective curves of the first kind and the biholomorphically projective curves of the second kind match, so we will simply call them the biholomorphically projective curves. Therefore, the biholomorphically projective curves of the spaces and , respectively, satisfy relations [20]
where and are functions of parameter t, and and are connection coeficients of the spaces and , respectively, .
From Equations (8) and (9) we obtain [20]
where we denote , . We can set , , Now, we have [20]
From this we conclude that the following relation is satisfied [20]:
and the deformation tensor has the form
where is a symmetrization without division by indices ; , and are vectors; and is an antisymmetric tensor.
Inspired by the form of the deformation tensor (11), we will define a new type of mapping. Let and be two generalized Riemannian spaces with almost complex structures and , respectively, where in the common system of coordinates defined by the mapping , and assume that it holds that where a is scalar invariant.
The mapping is a quasi-canonical biholomorphically projective mapping if in the common coordinate system the connection coefficients and satisfy the relation
where is a symmetrization without division by indices ; and are vectors; and is an antisymmetric tensor.
Let be a deformation tensor with respect to the quasi-canonical biholomorphically projective mapping . Then, from and , we have

6. Discussion
This paper is a continuation of the research discussed in paper [20]. The form of the deformation tensor of a biholomorphically projective mapping allows us to define new types of mappings. Here, we have defined quasi-canonical biholomorphically projective mappings and equitorsion quasi-canonical biholomorphically projective mappings. Also, we obtained some relations between the corresponding curvature tensors of the generalized Riemannian spaces and and we found an invariant geometric object of an equitorsion quasi-canonical biholomorphically projective mapping which is of the Thomas type. Apart from the mapping defined in this paper, it is possible to consider some other types of mapping, which will be the subject of our further research. Also, the goal of further research will be to find new invariant geometric objects. The findings of this paper also motivate us to answer the following questions: (i) Are there any interpretations from a physical point of view? (ii) What is the geometrical significance?
