On almost contact Finsler structures on vector bundles (Q1100750)

Let \(V(M)=(V,\pi,M)\) be a vector bundle, N a nonlinear connection on the total space V, and \(\nabla\) a Finsler connection on V (i.e. \(\nabla\) is a d-linear connection on V). Using \(\nabla\), an almost contact Finsler structure \(\phi\) and an almost contact Finsler connection \(\nabla\) are defined on V. The existence of \(\nabla\) is studied. Finally, the group of transformations of almost contact Finsler connections are obtained.
