A multisymplectic 3-structure on an $n$-dimensional manifold $M$ is given by a closed smooth 3-form $\omega$ of maximal rank on $M$ which is of the same algebraic type at each point of $M$, i.e. they belong to the same orbit under the action of the group $GL(n,ℝ)$. This means that for each point $x\in M$ the form ${\omega }_x$ is isomorphic to a chosen canonical 3-form on ${ℝ}^n$. R. Westwick [Linear Multilinear Algebra 10, 183–204 (1981; Zbl 0464.15001)] and D. Ž. Djoković [Linear Multilinear Algebra 13, 3–39 (1983; Zbl 0515.15011)] obtained...

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 authors study some geometrical constructions on the cotangent bundle $T^{*}M$ from the viewpoint of natural operations. First they deduce that all natural operators transforming functions on $T^{*}M$ into vector fields on $T^{*}M$ are linearly generated by the Hamiltonian vector field with respect to the canonical symplectic structure of $T^{*}M$ and by the Liouville vector field of $T^{*}M$. Then they determine all natural operators transforming pairs of functions on $T^{*}M$ into functions on $T^{*}M$. In this case, the main generator is...

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0742.00067.]This paper is devoted to a method permitting to determine explicitly all multilinear natural operators between vector-valued differential forms and between sections of several other natural vector bundles.

Let $F_1$ be a natural bundle of order $r_1$; a basis of the $s$-th order differential operators of $F_1$ with values in $r_2$-th order bundles is an operator $D$ of that type such that any other one is obtained by composing $D$ with a suitable zero-order operator. In this article a basis is found in the following two cases: for $F_1=\text{semi}{F}^{r_1}$ (semi-holonomic $r_1$-th order frame bundle), $s=0$, $r_2<r_1$ and $F_1=F^1$ ($1$-st order frame bundle), $r_2\le s$. The author uses here the so-called method of orbit reduction which provides one with a criterion for checking...

Let $Y\to M$ be a fibered manifold over a manifold $M$ and $\mu :A\to B$ be a homomorphism between Weil algebras $A$ and $B$. Using the results of Mikulski and others, which classify product preserving bundle functors on the category of fibered manifolds, the author classifies all natural operators $T_{\text{proj}}Y\to T^{\mu }Y$, where $T_{\text{proj}}Y$ denotes the space of projective vector fields on $Y$ and $T^{\mu }$ the bundle functors associated with $\mu$.

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] Natural transformations of the Weil functor $T^A$ of A-velocities [I. Kolař, Commentat. Math. Univ. Carol. 27, 723-729 (1986; Zbl 0603.58001)] into an arbitrary bundle functor F are characterized. In the case where F is a linear bundle functor, the author deduces that the dimension of the vector space of all natural transformations of $T^A$ into F is finite and is less than or equal to $dim\left(F_0{ℛ}^k\right)$. The spaces of all natural transformations of Weil functors into linear...

Summary: There are two classical languages for analytic cohomology: Dolbeault and Čech. In some applications, however (for example, in describing the Penrose transform and certain representations), it is convenient to use some nontraditional languages. In [M. G. Eastwood, S. G. Gindikin and H.-W. Wong, J. Geom. Phys. 17, 231-244 (1995; Zbl 0861.22009)] was developed a language that allows one to render analytic cohomology in a purely holomorphic fashion.In this article we indicate a more general...

The phenomenon of determining a geometric structure on a manifold by the group of its automorphisms is a modern analogue of the basic ideas of the Erlangen Program of F. Klein. The author calls such diffeomorphism groups admissible and he describes them by imposing some axioms. The main result is the followingTheorem. Let $(M_i,{\alpha }_i)$, $i=1,2$, be a geometric structure such that its group of automorphisms $G(M_i,{\alpha }_i)$ satisfies either axioms 1, 2, 3 and 4, or axioms 1, 2, 3’, 4, 5, 6 and 7, and $M_i$ is compact, or axioms 1, 2,...
