Natural lifting of connections to vertical bundles

Kolář, Ivan, Mikulski, Włodzimierz M.

Similarity:

One studies the flow prolongation of projectable vector fields with respect to a bundle functor of order ( r , s , q ) on the category of fibered manifolds. As a result, one constructs an operator transforming connections on a fibered manifold Y into connections on an arbitrary vertical bundle over Y . It is deduced that this operator is the only natural one of finite order and one presents a condition on vertical bundles over Y under which every natural operator in question has finite order. ...

The natural affinors on some fiber product preserving gauge bundle functors of vector bundles

Jan Kurek, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2006)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

We classify all natural affinors on vertical fiber product preserving gauge bundle functors F on vector bundles. We explain this result for some more known such F . We present some applications. We remark a similar classification of all natural affinors on the gauge bundle functor F * dual to F as above. We study also a similar problem for some (not all) not vertical fiber product preserving gauge bundle functors on vector bundles.

On involutions of iterated bundle functors

Miroslav Doupovec, Włodzimierz M. Mikulski (2006)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We introduce the concept of an involution of iterated bundle functors. Then we study the problem of the existence of an involution for bundle functors defined on the category of fibered manifolds with m-dimensional bases and of fibered manifold morphisms covering local diffeomorphisms. We also apply our results to prolongation of connections.

Non-holonomic ( r , s , q ) -jets

Jiří M. Tomáš (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We generalize the concept of an ( r , s , q ) -jet to the concept of a non-holonomic ( r , s , q ) -jet. We define the composition of such objects and introduce a bundle functor J ˜ r , s , q ℱ ℳ k , l × ℱ ℳ defined on the product category of ( k , l ) -dimensional fibered manifolds with local fibered isomorphisms and the category of fibered manifolds with fibered maps. We give the description of such functors from the point of view of the theory of Weil functors. Further, we introduce a bundle functor J ˜ 1 r , s , q 2 - ℱ ℳ k , l → ℱ ℳ defined on the category of 2 -fibered manifolds...
