Prolongation of vector fields to jet bundles

Kolář, Ivan, Slovák, Jan

Similarity:

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] In this interesting paper the authors show that all natural operators transforming every projectable vector field on a fibered manifold Y into a vector field on its r-th prolongation J r Y are the constant multiples of the flow operator. Then they deduce an analogous result for the natural operators transforming every vector field on a manifold M into a vector field on any bundle of contact elements over M.

Natural lifting of connections to vertical bundles

Kolář, Ivan, Mikulski, Włodzimierz M.

Similarity:

One studies the flow prolongation of projectable vector fields with respect to a bundle functor of order ( r , s , q ) on the category of fibered manifolds. As a result, one constructs an operator transforming connections on a fibered manifold Y into connections on an arbitrary vertical bundle over Y . It is deduced that this operator is the only natural one of finite order and one presents a condition on vertical bundles over Y under which every natural operator in question has finite order. ...
