G-structures of second order.
We introduce a generalization to the second order of the notion of the G-structure, the so called generalized almost tangent structure. For this purpose, the concepts of the second order frame bundle H(V), its structural group L and its associated tangent bundle of second order T(V) of a differentiable manifold V are described from the point of view that is used. Then, a G-structure of second order -called G -structure- is constructed on V by an endorphism J acting...
