Let M be an n−dimensional differentiable manifold equipped with a torsion-free linear connection ∇ and T * M its cotangent bundle. The present paper aims to study a metric connection ∇ with nonvanishing torsion on T * M with modified Riemannian extension g ∇,c . First, we give a characterization of fibre-preserving projective vector fields on (T * M, g ∇,c ) with respect to the metric connection ∇. Secondly, we study conditions for (T * M, g ∇,c ) to be semi-symmetric, Ricci semi-symmetric, Z semi-symmetric or locally conharmonically flat with respect to the metric connection ∇. Finally, we present some results concerning the Schouten-Van Kampen connection associated to the Levi-Civita connection ∇ of the modified Riemannian extension g ∇,c .Mathematics subject classification 2010. 53C07, 53C35, 53A45.
