Non-existence of some canonical constructions on connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2003)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

For a vector bundle functor $H : ℳ f \to 𝒱 ℬ$ with the point property we prove that $H$ is product preserving if and only if for any $m$ and $n$ there is an $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ -natural operator $D$ transforming connections $Γ$ on $(m, n)$ -dimensional fibered manifolds $p : Y \to M$ into connections $D (Γ)$ on $H p : H Y \to H M$ . For a bundle functor $E : ℱ ℳ_{m, n} \to ℱ ℳ$ with some weak conditions we prove non-existence of $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ -natural operators $D$ transforming connections $Γ$ on $(m, n)$ -dimensional fibered manifolds $Y \to M$ into connections $D (Γ)$ on $E Y \to M$ .

On "special" fibred coordinates for general and classical connections

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Using a general connection Γ on a fibred manifold p:Y → M and a torsion free classical linear connection ∇ on M, we distinguish some “special” fibred coordinate systems on Y, and then we construct a general connection $\tilde{ℱ} (Γ, \nabla)$ on Fp:FY → FM for any vector bundle functor F: ℳ f → of finite order.

A construction of a connection on $G Y \to Y$ from a connection on $Y \to M$ by means of classical linear connections on $M$ and $Y$

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2005)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $G$ be a bundle functor of order $(r, s, q)$ , $s \geq r \leq q$ , on the category $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ of $(m, n)$ -dimensional fibered manifolds and local fibered diffeomorphisms. Given a general connection $Γ$ on an $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ -object $Y \to M$ we construct a general connection $𝒢 (Γ, λ, Λ)$ on $G Y \to Y$ be means of an auxiliary $q$ -th order linear connection $λ$ on $M$ and an $s$ -th order linear connection $Λ$ on $Y$ . Then we construct a general connection $𝒢 (Γ, \nabla_{1}, \nabla_{2})$ on $G Y \to Y$ by means of auxiliary classical linear connections $\nabla_{1}$ on $M$ and $\nabla_{2}$ on $Y$ . In the case $G = J^{1}$ we determine all general connections...

Natural affinors on the (r,s,q)-cotangent bundle of a fibered manifold

Similarity:

For natural numbers r,s,q,m,n with s ≥ r ≤ q we describe all natural affinors on the (r,s,q)-cotangent bundle $T^{r, s, q *} Y$ over an (m,n)-dimensional fibered manifold Y.

The natural operators lifting horizontal 1-forms to some vector bundle functors on fibered manifolds

J. Kurek, W. M. Mikulski (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let F:ℱ ℳ → ℬ be a vector bundle functor. First we classify all natural operators $T_{p r o j | ℱ ℳ_{m, n}} ⇝ T^{(0, 0)} (F_{| ℱ ℳ_{m, n}}) *$ transforming projectable vector fields on Y to functions on the dual bundle (FY)* for any $ℱ ℳ_{m, n}$ -object Y. Next, under some assumption on F we study natural operators $T *_{h o r | ℱ ℳ_{m, n}} ⇝ T * (F_{| ℱ ℳ_{m, n}}) *$ lifting horizontal 1-forms on Y to 1-forms on (FY)* for any Y as above. As an application we classify natural operators $T *_{h o r | ℱ ℳ_{m, n}} ⇝ T * (F_{| ℱ ℳ_{m, n}}) *$ for some vector bundle functors F on fibered manifolds.

Lifting adapted connections from foliated manifolds to higher order adapted frame bundles

J. Kurek, W. M. Mikulski (2008)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let (M,ℱ) be a foliated manifold. We describe all natural operators lifting ℱ-adapted (i.e. projectable in adapted coordinates) classical linear connections ∇ on (M,ℱ) into classical linear connections (∇) on the rth order adapted frame bundle $P^{r} (M, ℱ)$ .

Natural maps depending on reductions of frame bundles

Ivan Kolář (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

We clarify how the natural transformations of fiber product preserving bundle functors on $ℱ ℳ_{m}$ can be constructed by using reductions of the rth order frame bundle of the base, $ℱ ℳ_{m}$ being the category of fibered manifolds with m-dimensional bases and fiber preserving maps with local diffeomorphisms as base maps. The iteration of two general r-jet functors is discussed in detail.

Non-existence of natural operators transforming connections on $Y \to M$ into connections on $F Y \to Y$

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2005)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

Under some weak assumptions on a bundle functor $F : F M_{m, n} \to F M$ we prove that there is no $F M_{m, n}$ -natural operator transforming connections on $Y \to M$ into connections on $F Y \to Y$ .

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We give a classification of all linear natural operators transforming affinors on each n-dimensional manifold M into affinors on $T^{A} M$ , where $T^{A}$ is the product preserving bundle functor given by a Weil algebra A, under the condition that n ≥ 2.

Gauge natural constructions on higher order principal prolongations

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2007)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

Let $W_{m}^{r} P$ be a principal prolongation of a principal bundle P → M. We classify all gauge natural operators transforming principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M into general connections on $W_{m}^{r} P \to M$ . We also describe all geometric constructions of classical linear connections on $W_{m}^{r} P$ from principal connections on P → M and rth order linear connections on M.

On symmetrization of jets

Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

Let $F = F^{(A, H, t)}$ and $F^{1} = F^{(A^{1}, H^{1}, t^{1})}$ be fiber product preserving bundle functors on the category ${ℱℳ}_{m}$ of fibred manifolds $Y$ with $m$ -dimensional bases and fibred maps covering local diffeomorphisms. We define a quasi-morphism $(A, H, t) \to (A^{1}, H^{1}, t^{1})$ to be a $G L (m)$ -invariant algebra homomorphism $ν : A \to A^{1}$ with $t^{1} = ν \circ t$ . The main result is that there exists an ${ℱℳ}_{m}$ -natural transformation $F Y \to F^{1} Y$ depending on a classical linear connection on the base of $Y$ if and only if there exists a quasi-morphism $(A, H, t) \to (A^{1}, H^{1}, t^{1})$ . As applications, we study existence problems of symmetrization (holonomization)...
