The complete description of all natural operators lifting real valued functions to bundle functors on fibered manifolds is given. The full collection of all natural operators lifting projectable real valued functions to bundle functors on fibered manifolds is presented.

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.
