On the torsion of linear higher order connections

Ivan Kolář — 2003

Open Mathematics

For a linear r-th order connection on the tangent bundle we characterize geometrically its integrability in the sense of the theory of higher order G-structures. Our main tool is a bijection between these connections and the principal connections on the r-th order frame bundle and the comparison of the torsions under both approaches.

On the Weilian prolongations of natural bundles

Ivan Kolář — 2012

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We characterize Weilian prolongations of natural bundles from the viewpoint of certain recent general results. First we describe the iteration F ( E M ) of two natural bundles E and F . Then we discuss the Weilian prolongation of an arbitrary associated bundle. These two auxiliary results enables us to solve our original problem.

Functorial prolongations of Lie groupoids

Ivan Kolář — 2007

Banach Center Publications

For every Lie groupoid Φ with m-dimensional base M and every fiber product preserving bundle functor F on the category of fibered manifolds with m-dimensional bases and fiber preserving maps with local diffeomorphisms as base maps, we construct a Lie groupoid ℱ Φ over M. Every action of Φ on a fibered manifold Y → M is extended to an action of ℱ Φ on FY → M.

Natural maps depending on reductions of frame bundles

Ivan Kolář — 2011

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We clarify how the natural transformations of fiber product preserving bundle functors on m can be constructed by using reductions of the rth order frame bundle of the base, m being the category of fibered manifolds with m-dimensional bases and fiber preserving maps with local diffeomorphisms as base maps. The iteration of two general r-jet functors is discussed in detail.

On the natural transformations of Weil bundles

Ivan Kolář — 2013

Archivum Mathematicum

First we deduce some general results on the covariant form of the natural transformations of Weil functors. Then we discuss several geometric properties of these transformations, special attention being paid to vector bundles and principal bundles.
