I. INTRODUCTION
In mathematics, several special functions appear in many applications such as the Gamma function that plays some significant roles in the theory of integral differential equations in particular fractional calculus. Thus, we begin with some definitions, for the details we refer to .
The Gamma function of a positive integer is again a positive integer, while the gamma function of a negative integer changes to infinities. The Gamma function any positive value is defined as follows:
The Gamma function is considered as a generalization of the factorial and is defined for by the integral
In the classical sense since , then it follows that is not defined for integers . However, the extension formula gives finite values for , for since is analytic everywhere except at , and the residue at is given by
Now, if , then
Equation (1.1) can be used to define for and and further, this is one of the most important formulas that were satisfied by the Gamma function.
Even though the Gamma function is defined as a locally summable function on the real line by [17]

In the classical sense, function was not defined for the negative integer thus, there was an open problem to give a satisfactory definition. However, by using the neutral limit, it has been shown in [21] that the Gamma function (1.2) is defined as follows:
for , and this function can be defined by neutral limit such as
It was also proven in [20] the existence of the derivative of the Gamma function and defined it by equation

for and . Also,
for , where
Thus, the definition can be extended to the whole real line where,
where denotes Euler's constant, see [22].
For a function with , the fractional derivative of order is defined by:
where is the first integer greater than or equal to .
The relation gives a fractional integral and gives a fractional derivative.
We express some of the operators of fractional derivatives, see for example, [4, 7, 9, 10, 12, 16].

It is well known that fractional calculus is an essential and advantageous branch of mathematics, having a broad range of applications at almost every department of sciences. Techniques of fractional calculus have been employed in the modeling of many different phenomena in engineering, physics, and mathematics. The problem in fractional calculus is not only essential but also quite challenging, which usually involves complicated mathematical solution techniques. However, a general solution theory for almost every issue in this area has yet to be established. Each application has developed its approaches and implementations. Consequently, a single standard method for the problems in fractional calculus has not emerged yet. Therefore, funding reliable and efficient solution techniques along with fast implementation methods are significantly essential and still active research areas.
Further, it is also realized that the operators of fractional integration and derivation have physical and geometric interpretations, which streamline along with their utilization for related issues in various fields of science(see [2, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 19]). Moreover, the fractional differential calculus on a differential manifold is studied in [2, 3, 4, 6, 13]. Even though fractional calculus is a handy and important topic, however, the research on geometric interpretation and applications are limited,and not many in current literature. Thus, in this study, we focus on the Riemannian curvature tensor, Livi-Civita connection and Bianchi's identity on fractional differentiable manifolds and discuss some related properties. We also give some examples.

Since it is essential to study fractional vector fields on a differentiable manifold N. For , there is an obvious way to do this. Recall that denotes the space of fractional differentiable vector fields defined on R. Examples are the fractional vector fields determined by the natural coordinate functions .
