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.

On the functorial prolongations of principal bundles

Ivan Kolář, Antonella Cabras (2006)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

We describe the fundamental properties of the infinitesimal actions related with functorial prolongations of principal and associated bundles with respect to fiber product preserving bundle functors. Our approach is essentially based on the Weil algebra technique and an original concept of weak principal bundle.

Natural transformations of higher order cotangent bundle functors

Jan Kurek (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We determine all natural transformations of the rth order cotangent bundle functor T r * into T s * in the following cases: r = s, r < s, r > s. We deduce that all natural transformations of T r * into itself form an r-parameter family linearly generated by the pth power transformations with p =1,...,r.

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.
