abstract = {Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ and a linear symmetric connection $K$. We classify all natural (in the sense of [KMS]) 0-order vector fields and 2-vector fields on $TM$ generated by $g$ and $K$. We get that all natural vector fields are of the form \[ E(u)=\alpha (h(u))\, u^H + \beta (h(u))\, u^V\,, \] where $u^V$ is the vertical lift of $u\in T_xM$, $u^H$ is the horizontal lift of $u$ with respect to $K$, $h(u)= 1/2 g(u,u)$ and $\alpha ,\beta $ are smooth real functions defined on $R$. All natural 2-vector fields are of the form \[ \Lambda (u) = \gamma \_1(h(u))\, \Lambda (g,K) + \gamma \_2(h(u))\,u^H\wedge u^V\,, \] where $\gamma _1$, $\gamma _2$ are smooth real functions defined on $R$ and $\Lambda (g,K)$ is the canonical 2-vector field induced by $g$ and $K$. Conditions for $(E,\Lambda )$ to define a Jacobi or a Poisson structure on $TM$ are disscused.},
