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.

Gauge natural prolongation of connections

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The main result is the classification of all gauge bundle functors H on the category m ( G ) which admit gauge natural operators transforming principal connections on P → M into general connections on HP → M. We also describe all gauge natural operators of this type. Similar problems are solved for the prolongation of principal connections to HP → P. A special attention is paid to linear connections.

Torsions of connections on time-dependent Weil bundles

Miroslav Doupovec (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce the concept of a dynamical connection on a time-dependent Weil bundle and we characterize the structure of dynamical connections. Then we describe all torsions of dynamical connections.
