Introduction In the context of Riemannian geometry, the tangent bundle T M of a Riemannian manifold (M, g) was classically equipped with the Sasaki metric gS , which was introduced in 1958 by Sasaki [14]. The study of the relationship between the geometry of a manifold (M, g) and that of its tangent bundle T M equipped with the Sasaki metric gS has shown some kinds of rigidity (see [7, 9]). Other (classes of) metrics defined by the various kinds of classical lifts of the metric g from M to T M were defined in [19], and then geometers obtained interesting results related to these metrics involving the different aspects and concepts of differential geometry. If (M, J, g) is an almost Hermitian manifold, its tangent bundle T M is also an almost Hermitian manifold with almost Hermitian structure (HJ, gS ), where HJ is the horizontal lift of J [19]. In [20] (see also [21, 22]), Zayatuev studied the almost Hermitian structure on T M given by (HJ, ge) , where the metric ge is defined by (H H ) X, Y (H V ) ge X, Y ( ) ge V X,V Y ge = f g (X, Y ) , ( ) = ge V X,H Y = 0, = g (X, Y ) for all vector fields X and Y on M , and f > 0, f ∈ C ∞ (M ). For f = 1 , it follows that ge
