Bochner's technique in Einstein's non-symmetric geometry
Abstract: A. Einstein considered a manifold with a non-symmetric (0,2)-tensor $G$ and a linear connection $\nabla=(Γk_{ij})$ satisfying the condition $\dfrac{\partial G_{ij}}{\partial xk} = Γp_{ik}G_{pj} +Γp_{kj}G_{ip}$. Guided by the construction of an almost Lie algebroid (on a vector bundle), we define the following concepts of Bochner's technique for the Einstein's non-symmetric geometry: the $\nabla{f}$-connection, Bochner and Hodge $f$-Laplacians on tensors, the $f$-curvature operator and the Weitzenböck type curvature operator of Einstein's connection. We prove Weitzenböck type decomposition formula and obtain vanishing results about the null space of the Bochner and Hodge $f$-Laplacians.
