Einstein considered a linear connection with torsion T on a differentiable manifold equipped with a nonsymmetric (0, 2)-tensor G = g + F, where g is a pseudo-Riemannian metric associated with gravity, and F 0 is a skew-symmetric tensor associated with electromagnetism, such that ( X G ) ( Y , Z ) = G ( T ( X , Y ) , Z ). In this paper, we explicitly present the Einstein connection of a nonsymmetric pseudo-Riemannian manifold with non-degenerate F, satisfying the f 2 -torsion condition T ( f 2 X , Y ) = T ( X , f 2 Y ) = f 2 T ( X , Y ), where g ( X , f Y ) = F ( X , Y ), and show that in the almost Hermitian case, it reduces to the Prvanović's (1995) solution. We also explicitly present the Einstein connection of almost contact metric manifolds satisfying the f 2 -torsion condition, discuss special Einstein connections, and give example in terms of the weighted product of almost Hermitian manifolds.
