Product splittings for p-compact groups

W. Dwyer, C. Wilkerson (1995)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

We show that a connected p-compact group with a trivial center is equivalent to a product of simple p-compact groups. More generally, we show that product splittings of any connected p-compact group correspond bijectively to algebraic splittings of the fundamental group of the maximal torus as a module over the Weyl group. These are analogues for p-compact groups of well-known theorems about compact Lie groups.

Prolongation of vector fields to jet bundles

Kolář, Ivan, Slovák, Jan (1990)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] In this interesting paper the authors show that all natural operators transforming every projectable vector field on a fibered manifold Y into a vector field on its r-th prolongation J r Y are the constant multiples of the flow operator. Then they deduce an analogous result for the natural operators transforming every vector field on a manifold M into a vector field on any bundle of contact elements over M.
