Natural transformations between T²₁T*M and T*T²₁M

Miroslav Doupovec (1991)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We determine all natural transformations T²₁T*→ T*T²₁ where T k r M = J 0 r ( ℝ k , M ) . We also give a geometric characterization of the canonical isomorphism ψ₂ defined by Cantrijn et al.

On special types of nonholonomic 3 -jets

Ivan Kolář (2012)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We deduce a classification of all special types of nonholonomic 3 -jets. In the introductory part, we summarize the basic properties of nonholonomic r -jets.

Continuity of projections of natural bundles

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

This paper is a contribution to the axiomatic approach to geometric objects. A collection of a manifold M, a topological space N, a group homomorphism E: Diff(M) → Homeo(N) and a function π: N → M is called a quasi-natural bundle if (1) π ∘ E(f) = f ∘ π for every f ∈ Diff(M) and (2) if f,g ∈ Diff(M) are two diffeomorphisms such that f|U = g|U for some open subset U of M, then E(f)|π^{-1}(U) = E(g)|π^{-1}(U). We give conditions which ensure that π: N → M is continuous. In particular,...

On topological invariants of vector bundles

Zbigniew Szafraniec (1992)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let E → W be an oriented vector bundle, and let X(E) denote the Euler number of E. The paper shows how to calculate X(E) in terms of equations which describe E and W.
