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.

Principal prolongations and geometries modeled on homogeneous spaces

Jan Slovák (1996)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We discuss frame bundles and canonical forms for geometries modeled on homogeneous spaces. Our aim is to introduce a geometric picture based on the non-holonomic jet bundles and principal prolongations as introduced in [Kolář, 71]. The paper has a partly expository character and we focus on very general aspects only. In the final section, various links to known results on the parabolic geometries are given briefly and some directions for further investigations are roughly indicated. ...
