1. Introduction
Many ancient societies have made extensive use of the golden mean as a foundation for proportions, whether for creating music, sculptures, paintings, or buildings, such as temples and palaces [
1]. Fractal geometry has been explained using the silver mean [
2]. Some uses of a class of polynomial structures have been constructed on Riemannian manifolds for the metallic means family (a generalization of the golden mean) and generalized Fibonacci sequences in differential geometry. The geometric properties (such as totally geodesic, totally umbilical hypersurfaces, etc.) in metallic Riemannian manifolds have been explored in [
3]. This manuscript is focused on studying the properties of metallic structures for tangent bundles over a class of metallic Riemannian manifolds.
A quadratic equation of type
where
p and
q are natural numbers, whose positive solutions are given by
is known as a metallic means family [
4]. The most notable member is the well-known “Golden Mean” for
. The metallic means family includes the silver mean for
, the bronze mean for
, the copper mean for
, and many others.
Let
M be an
n-dimensional differentiable manifold and
be its tangent bundle. Let
and
be the algebra of tensor fields of
M and
, respectively. The differential geometry of tangent bundle has been broadly studied by Davis [
5], Sasaki [
6], Tachibana and Okumura [
7], Yano and Ishihara [
8], and others. Yano and Kabayashi [
9] defined the natural mapping (say complete lift) of
into
and studied complete lifts of an almost complex structure and the symplectic structure on
. Tanno [
10] studied complete and vertical lifts of an almost contact structure on
and defined a tensor field
of type (1,1) and proved that it is an almost complex structure on
. Numerous investigators have studied various geometric structures on
—an almost complex structure by Yano [
11], paracomplex structures by Tekkoyun [
12], almost
r-contact structures by Das and Khan [
13], and many others [
14,
15,
16,
17,
18,
19].
In [
20], Azami explored complete and horizontal lifts of metallic structures and analyzed the geometric properties of these structures. Salimov et al. [
19] studied complete lifts of symplectic vector fields on tangent and cotangent bundles. Recently, Khan [
21] introduced a new tensor field
J of type (1,1) and demonstrated that
J is a metallic structure (
) on the frame bundle
. Furthermore, the derivative and the coderivative of fundamental 2-form and the Nijenhuis tensor of
J on
are discussed.
On the other hand, Sasaki [
6] defined a structure named as an almost contact structure and demonstrated its basic algebraic properties such as a Riemannian metric, the fundamental 2-form, etc., on
M. Later on, Sato [
22] defined the notion of an almost paracontact structure and analyzed its geometrical properties.
Debnath et al. [
23] defined the notion of a
on a differentiable manifold
M and established its existence. Later on, Gonul et al. [
24] developed a relation between
and
. They proved that the warped product manifold has structure
. Most recently, Gök et al. [
25] introduced the notion of
-structures and investigated a necessary condition for these structures to be a
.
The main aim of this paper is summarized as:
Tensor fields
and
are defined on
over the structure
and we prove that they are metallic structures, which generalize the notion of almost complex structure
introduced by Tanno [
10].
The basic geometrical properties of fundamental 2-Form and its derivative on over the structure are studied.
The integrability conditions and expressions of the Lie derivative of metallic structures and with the help of complete and horizontal lifts, respectively, on over the structure are investigated.
The existence of almost quadratic -manifolds on with non-trivial examples are proved.

p and
q are constants and
I is the identity vector field. The structure
is called an almost quadratic
-structure on
M and the manifold

-manifold [
23,

-structure and the manifold

-manifold.

35]

-manifold.
