Connections on higher order principal prolongations

Vašík, Petr

Similarity:

Geometric constructions of connections on the higher order principal prolongations of a principal bundle are considered. Moreover, the existing differences among connections on non-holonomic, semiholonomic and holonomic principal prolongations are discussed.

Prolongation of second order connections to vertical Weil bundles

Antonella Cabras, Ivan Kolář (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We study systematically the prolongation of second order connections in the sense of C. Ehresmann from a fibered manifold into its vertical bundle determined by a Weil algebra A . In certain situations we deduce new properties of the prolongation of first order connections. Our original tool is a general concept of a B -field for another Weil algebra B and of its A -prolongation.
