We prove, that r -th order gauge natural operators on the bundle of Cartan connections with a target in the gauge natural bundles of the order ( 1 , 0 ) (“tensor bundles”) factorize through the curvature and its invariant derivatives up to order r - 1 . On the course to this result we also prove that the invariant derivations (a generalization of the covariant derivation for Cartan geometries) of the curvature function of a Cartan connection have the tensor character. A modification of the theorem...
