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.

On prolongation of higher order connections

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We describe all bundle functors G admitting natural operators transforming rth order holonomic connections on a fibered manifold Y → M into rth order holonomic connections on GY → M. For second order holonomic connections we classify all such natural operators.

Sprays and homogeneous connections on 𝐑 × 𝑇𝑀

Alexandr Vondra (1992)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

The homogeneity properties of two different families of geometric objects playing a crutial role in the non-autonomous first-order dynamics - semisprays and dynamical connections on R × T M - are studied. A natural correspondence between sprays and a special class of homogeneous connections is presented.
