Abstract

top
This paper is a contribution to the axiomatic approach to geometric objects. A collection of a manifold M, a topological space N, a group homomorphism E: Diff(M) → Homeo(N) and a function π: N → M is called a quasi-natural bundle if (1) π ∘ E(f) = f ∘ π for every f ∈ Diff(M) and (2) if f,g ∈ Diff(M) are two diffeomorphisms such that f|U = g|U for some open subset U of M, then E(f)|π^{-1}(U) = E(g)|π^{-1}(U). We give conditions which ensure that π: N → M is continuous. In particular, if (M,N,E,π) is a quasi-natural bundle with N Hausdorff, then π is continuous. Using this result, we classify (quasi) prolongation functors with compact fibres.
