Abstract
In the beginning, the basic facts about a conformal transformations are exposed and then equitorsion conformal transformations are defined. For every five independent curvature tensors in Generalized Riemannian space, the above cited transformations are investigated and corresponding invariants-5 concircular tensors of concircular transformations are found.
    1. Introduction
In the sense of Eisenhart’s definition [], a generalized Riemannian space  is a differentiable N-dimensional manifold that is endowed with basic non-symmetric tensor , where 
The symmetric part of  is noted with  and antisymmetric one with . The lowering and rising of indices in  is defined by  and , respectively, where  . The Christoffel symbols in  are given in the next manner: 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Because of non-symmetry of the affine connection coefficients  by indices j and k, there are four kinds of covariant differentiation in the space . Namely, for a tensor , these covariant derivatives are defined as:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Yano in [] investigates a conformal and concircular transformations in the . In that case, of course, he considers one that is Riemannian curvature tensor. De and Mandal in [] studied concircular curvature tensors as important tensors from the differential geometric point of view. In [,,,,,,,], Mikeš et al. have studied special kinds ot transformations in Riemannian space.
Minčić, in his doctoral dissertation (Novi Sad, 1975), obtained 12 curvature tensors, using non-symmetric connection. Among these 12 tensors, five of them are independent (se also [,,,,,]) and they are noted 
In [], another combination of five independent curvature tensors is obtained, and they are denoted by .
For five independent tensors  in [], the invariants  were found, which are different from the invariants  in the present paper (see Remark 3.1, at the end). Compare e.g.,  from the present paper and  from [], where .
Investigation of various kinds of mappings in the settings of generalized Riemannian spaces is an active research topic, numerous results were obtained in the recent years; see, for instance [,,]. Very recently, conformal and concircular diffeomorphisms of generalized Riemannian spaces have been studied by M. Z Petrović, M. S. Stanković and P. Peška [].
2. Equitorsion Conformal Transformation in Generalized Riemannian Space
Consider a special transformation of the objects in .
Definition 1. 
Conformal transformation is that one under which the basic tensor is changed according to the law
      
        
      
      
      
      
    where  is some differentiable function of coordinates in .
We see that g and  are considered in the common system of coordinates. The same is valid for the other geometric objects.
Furthermore, we have:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
If the transformation (3) is effected, for the Christoffel symbols, it is obtained
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Denoting
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      the previous equation gives
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
For , according to (1), we get
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Because the inverse matrix for  is the matrix , we get
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      and, based on (1), (6), (8),
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      where
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      Denote
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
From (9), it is obtained: for the symmetric part of the connection
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
      and for the torsion tensor (double skewsymmetric part of the connection)
      
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Definition 2. 
An equitorsion conformal transformation of the connection in  is that conformal transformation (3) on the base of which the torsion is not changed, i.e.,
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
From (13), we conclude that
Theorem 1. 
Necessary and sufficient condition for a conformal transformation of the connection to be equitorsion is
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
3. Curvature Tensors in Equitorsion Conformal and Concircular Transformation in Generalized Riemannian Space
3.1. The First Curvature Tensor
The 1st from the cited curvature tensors in  is [,]
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Based on (15), (9), we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
If by the transformation of the connection  into  we write
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we can consider how e.g., some curvature tensors from the above mentioned independent ones are transformed.
With respect to (18), for , one obtains
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and substituting P from (18b): 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  denotes covariant derivative of the first kind on . Because
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        the 2nd addend on the right side in (20) is 0. Introducing the notation
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and, for ,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        is obtained, where
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Furthermore,
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        from where
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and putting in order:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is given in (24). We are using the next definition from []
Definition 3. 
If a conformal transformation in a Riemannian space 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    transforms every geodesic circle into geodesic circle, the function  satisfies the partial differential equation
      
        
      
      
      
      
    where
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Such a transformation is calleda concircular transformationin , andconcircular geometryis geometry that treats the concircular transformations and the spaces that allow such kinds of transformations.
In the , we consider transformations
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where, based on (22),  in . Now, we take
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and such a transformation we name a concircular transformation of the first kind in .
We have to find the function . Substituting  from (30) into (26), we get:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
If we effect the contraction with  it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where , and so on, and we get:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
By multiplying the corresponding sides of previous equation and the equation
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  and so on, while
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        wherefrom it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Substituting  into (31), we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and from here
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Taking into consideration that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        with respect to (24) and (35)
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  (for the first addend) and  (for the third addend). By substituting from (36) into (34) and because of
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
In that manner, we conclude that the following theorem is valid:
Theorem 2. 
The tensor
      
        
      
      
      
      
    is an invariant in the space , by an equitorsion concircular transformation i.e., according to (38):
      
        
      
      
      
      
    where e.g.,  and  is given by (39).
The tensor  is an equitorsion concircular tensor of the first kind in .
3.2. The Second Curvature Tensor
The tensor  in  is [,]
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and, for , by virtue of (18), it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Substituting from (18) into the previous equation and arranging, one obtains
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
The term in the  bracket on the right side is 0 because of
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
If we introduce the denotation
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and, for  from (43)–(45), it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is given (24). Furthermore, we use the concircular transformation for 
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
By substitution of  into (46), by procedure as for , we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and at the end:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is given in (24).
Thus, we conclude that the next theorem is valid.
Theorem 3. 
The tensor
      
        
      
      
      
      
    is an invariant in  with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., in force is
      
        
      
      
      
      
    The tensor  isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the  kind at and e.g., .
3.3. The Third Curvature Tensor
The tensor  in  [,,] is
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is torsion tensor in local coordinates. For  on the base of (18), it is obtained
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where we take into consideration that  is symmetric, with respect to (18).
By substituting from (18) into the previous equation and arranging, one obtains
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
From (55), it is obtained that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Consider, further, the concircular transformation for the tensor  in the following manner.
Taking
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        we obtain from (56)
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Putting  we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and contracting with  on the left and the right sides correspondingly in (59), we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        because
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
By the further procedure as in the case of , we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Consider, further, the tensor . By virtue of (35), one gets
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where the equitorsion is taken into consideration.
Substituting from (62), (63) into (58), it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        from where we conclude that the next theorem is valid.
Theorem 4. 
The tensor
      
        
      
      
      
      
    is an invariant in  with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., it is
      
        
      
      
      
      
    The tensor  isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 3rd kind at .
3.4. The Fourth Curvature Tensor
For the tensor  in , we have [,,]
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is torsion tensor in local coordinates. For  on the base of (18), it is obtained
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
From (53), (68), it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        because  Thus, we have
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is given in (55). For the concircular transformation for the tensor , we put
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and, by the same procedure as in the previous case, the next theorem is obtained.
Theorem 5. 
The tensor
      
        
      
      
      
      
    is an invariant in  with respect to an equitorsion concircular transformation, i.e., in force is
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
The tensor  isan equitorsion concircular tensor of the 4th kind at .
3.5. The Fifth Curvature Tensor
Finally, consider the 5th curvature tensor  in  (in []  is denoted with . We have according to [,]
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        which can be written in the form []:
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        where  is given in (18). With substitution of P from (18) into (73), one obtains
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Using (23) and (44) and introducing the denotation
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Equation (74) obtains the form
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Let us apply a concircular transformation for the tensor . By virtue of (75), we put
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        into (76) and we get
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Contracting by , we obtain
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
Multiplying this equation with , it follows that
        
      
        
      
      
      
      
    
        and substituting this value into (78), one gets that the following theorem is valid.
Theorem 6.
