Prolongation of tangent valued forms to Weil bundles

Antonella Cabras, Ivan Kolář (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We prove that the so-called complete lifting of tangent valued forms from a manifold M to an arbitrary Weil bundle over M preserves the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket. We also deduce that the complete lifts of connections are torsion-free in the sense of M. Modugno and the second author.

Flow prolongation of some tangent valued forms

Antonella Cabras, Ivan Kolář (2008)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We study the prolongation of semibasic projectable tangent valued k -forms on fibered manifolds with respect to a bundle functor F on local isomorphisms that is based on the flow prolongation of vector fields and uses an auxiliary linear r -th order connection on the base manifold, where r is the base order of F . We find a general condition under which the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket is preserved. Special attention is paid to the curvature of connections. The first order jet functor and...
