On the space of maps inducing isomorphic connections
Let be the universal connection on the bundle . Given a principal -bundle with connection , we determine the homotopy type of the space of maps of into such that is isomorphic to . Here denotes pull-back.

On the torsion of linear higher order connections
For a linear r-th order connection on the tangent bundle we characterize geometrically its integrability in the sense of the theory of higher order G-structures. Our main tool is a bijection between these connections and the principal connections on the r-th order frame bundle and the comparison of the torsions under both approaches.

On third order semiholonomic prolongation of a connection
We recall several different definitions of semiholonomic jet prolongations of a fibered manifold and use them to derive some interesting properties of prolongation of a first order connection to a third order semiholonomic connection.
On torsion of a -web
A 3-web on a smooth -dimensional manifold can be regarded locally as a triple of integrable -distributions which are pairwise complementary, [5]; that is, we can work on the tangent bundle only. This approach enables us to describe a -web and its properties by invariant -tensor fields and where is a projector and id. The canonical Chern connection of a web-manifold can be introduced using this tensor fields, [1]. Our aim is to express the torsion tensor of the Chern connection through...

Only one of generalized gradients can be elliptic
Decomposing the space of k-tensors on a manifold M into the components invariant and irreducible under the action of GL(n) (or O(n) when M carries a Riemannian structure) one can define generalized gradients as differential operators obtained from a linear connection ∇ on M by restriction and projection to such components. We study the ellipticity of gradients defined in this way.

Order reduction of the Euler-Lagrange equations of higher order invariant variational problems on frame bundles
Let be a principal bundle of frames with the structure group . It is shown that the variational problem, defined by -invariant Lagrangian on , can be equivalently studied on the associated space of connections with some compatibility condition, which gives us order reduction of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations.

Principal bundles, groupoids, and connections
We clarify in which precise sense the theory of principal bundles and the theory of groupoids are equivalent; and how this equivalence of theories, in the differentiable case, reflects itself in the theory of connections. The method used is that of synthetic differential geometry.
