Let A be a Weil algebra and V be an A-module with dim V < ∞. Let E → M be a vector bundle and let TE → TM be the vector bundle corresponding to (A,V). We construct canonically a linear semibasic tangent valued p-form Tφ : T E → ΛT*TM ⊗ TTE on TE → TM from a linear semibasic tangent valued p-form φ : E → ΛT*M ⊗­ TE on E → M. For the Frolicher-Nijenhuis bracket we prove that [[Tφ, Tψ]] = T ([[φ,ψ]]) for any linear semibasic tangent valued p- and q-forms φ and ψ on E → M. We apply...

A new Lagrangian dynamic reduction in field theory

For symmetric classical field theories on principal bundles there are two methods of symmetry reduction: covariant and dynamic. Assume that the classical field theory is given by a symmetric covariant Lagrangian density defined on the first jet bundle of a principal bundle. It is shown that covariant and dynamic reduction lead to equivalent equations of motion. This is achieved by constructing a new Lagrangian defined on an infinite dimensional space which turns out to be gauge group...

On the torsion of linear higher order connections

Ivan Kolář (2003)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

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.
