Natural transformations of 2-quasijets
We consider a vector bundle and the principal bundle of frames of . We determine all natural transformations of the connection bundle of the first order principal prolongation of principal bundle into itself.
We determine all natural transformations of the rth order cotangent bundle functor into in the following cases: r = s, r < s, r > s. We deduce that all natural transformations of into itself form an r-parameter family linearly generated by the pth power transformations with p =1,...,r.
Let be the functor of semi-holonomic -jets and be the functor of those semi-holonomic -jets, which are holonomic in the second order. We deduce that the only natural transformations are the identity and the contraction. Then we determine explicitely all natural transformations , which form two -parameter families.
Given a map of a product of two manifolds into a third one, one can define its jets of separated orders and . We study the functor of separated -jets. We determine all natural transformations of into itself and we characterize the canonical exchange from the naturality point of view.
We study geometrical properties of natural transformations depending on a linear function defined on the Weil algebra A. We show that for many particular cases of A, all natural transformations can be described in a uniform way by means of a simple geometrical construction.
In this paper are determined all natural transformations of the natural bundle of -covelocities over -manifolds into such a linear natural bundle over -manifolds which is dual to the restriction of a linear bundle functor, if .
[For the entire collection see Zbl 0699.00032.] Natural transformations of the Weil functor 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 into F is finite and is less than or equal to . The spaces of all natural transformations of Weil functors into linear...
A classification of natural transformations transforming functions (or vector fields) to functions on such natural bundles which are restrictions of bundle functors is given.
A classification of natural transformations transforming vector fields on -manifolds into affinors on the extended -th order tangent bundle over -manifolds is given, provided .
Let be a differentiable manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric and a linear symmetric connection . We classify all natural (in the sense of [KMS]) 0-order vector fields and 2-vector fields on generated by and . We get that all natural vector fields are of the form where is the vertical lift of , is the horizontal lift of with respect to , and are smooth real functions defined on . All natural 2-vector fields are of the form where , are smooth real functions defined...
