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. 
  2. Preliminaries
Let M be an n-dimensional differentiable manifold of class  and  be the tangent bundle over a manifold M such that  with the projection map , where  represents the tangent space at a point x of M. Let  be a local chart in M and  be a local coordinate in  and be called the induced coordinate in .
Let 
, and 
F be a function, a 1-form, a vector field, and a tensor field of type (1,1) of 
M, respectively. The vertical lifts 
, and 
 on 
 in terms of partial differential equations are given by [
8,
25]
      
      where 
, and 
 are local components of 
, and 
F on 
M, respectively.
The complete lifts 
, and 
 on 
 in the term of partial differential equations are given by
      
      By the definition of the lift, we have
      
      By the definition of the Lie product of the lift, we have
      
      Let 
f be a function and 
∇ is an affine connection on 
M. The horizontal lift is
      
      where

f on 
M,

 is in

8], p. 86).
Let 
, and 
S be a vector field, a 1-form, and a tensor field of arbitrary type on 
M, respectively. The horizontal lifts 
, and 
 on 
 are given by
      
      By the definitions of the lifts, we have
      
      By the definitions of the Lie product of the lifts, we have
      
      where

 represents the curvature tensor of 
 given by 
.
In addition, let 
P and 
Q be arbitrary elements of 
, then
      
      Let

 of a Riemannian metric 
g on 
M. Then [

  2.1. Metallic Structure
The quadratic structure 
J on 
M satisfying
        
        where 
J denotes a tensor field of type (1,1), 
I is the identity vector field, and 
 are natural numbers, named as a metallic structure. The structure 
 is called a metallic manifold [
26,
27,
28,
29,
30,
31].
Let

M such that
        
        or equally,
        
        where 
 and 
 are vector fields on 
M. The structure 
 is said to be a metallic Riemannian manifold [
32,
33].
The Nijenhuis tensor of 
J is denoted by

  2.2. Almost Quadratic -Structure
Debnath et al. [
23] introduced the notion of structure 
 and discussed some geometric properties of such structures. Next, Gonul et al. [
24] investigated the connection between 
 and almost quadratic 
-structures. Consider a non-null tensor fields 
 of type (1,1), a 1-form 
 and a vector field 
 on 
M satisfying
        
        where 
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 
 is called an almost quadratic 
-manifold [
23,
24,
34].
Furthermore,
        
        or equally,
        
		The structure 
 is termed as an almost quadratic metric 
-structure and the manifold 
 is called an almost quadratic metric 
-manifold.
In addition, the 1-form 
 associated with 
g such that
        
        and the 2-Form 
 is given by [
35]
        
        is said to be the fundamental form of an almost quadratic metric 
-manifold.
The Nijenhuis tensor of 
 is denoted by 
 and given by
        
        where 
 and 
 are vector fields on 
M.

In this section, we study the structure  geometrically using complete lift on . A tensor field  on the tangent bundle is defined and show that it is an  by using the complete lift on  over . Next, mathematical operators, namely fundamental 2-Form  and the derivative  using the complete lift on  over , are calculated. Furthermore, the integrability condition and the Lie derivative of an  by using the complete lift on  over  are established.
Let M be an n dimensional differentiable manifold and , , and  be a tensor field of type (1,1), a 1-form and a vector field on M, respectively.

      where 
, and 
 are complete and vertical lifts of

20] defined a tensor field 
J of type (1,1) on 
 with an almost paracontact structure 
 as
      
      and proved that it is an 
 on 
.
Recently, Khan [
21] introduced a tensor 
 on 
 immersed with an almost contact structure 
 as
      
      where 
 and 
 are horizontal lifts of a tensor field 
 of type (1,1), a 1-form 
 and a vector field 
, respectively, and 
 is 
-vertical lift of

20] and Khan [
21], let us introduce a new
