Natural transformations of higher order cotangent bundle functors

Jan Kurek (1993)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We determine all natural transformations of the rth order cotangent bundle functor T r * into T s * in the following cases: r = s, r < s, r > s. We deduce that all natural transformations of T r * into itself form an r-parameter family linearly generated by the pth power transformations with p =1,...,r.

Natural transformations of semi-holonomic 3-jets

Gabriela Vosmanská (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let J ¯ 3 be the functor of semi-holonomic 3 -jets and J ¯ 3 , 2 be the functor of those semi-holonomic 3 -jets, which are holonomic in the second order. We deduce that the only natural transformations J ¯ 3 J ¯ 3 are the identity and the contraction. Then we determine explicitely all natural transformations J ¯ 3 , 2 J ¯ 3 , 2 , which form two 5 -parameter families.

Natural transformations of separated jets

Miroslav Doupovec, Ivan Kolář (2000)

Archivum Mathematicum

Given a map of a product of two manifolds into a third one, one can define its jets of separated orders r and s . We study the functor J of separated ( r ; s ) -jets. We determine all natural transformations of J into itself and we characterize the canonical exchange J J s ; r from the naturality point of view.

Natural transformations of the composition of Weil and cotangent functors

Miroslav Doupovec (2001)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We study geometrical properties of natural transformations T A T * T * T A depending on a linear function defined on the Weil algebra A. We show that for many particular cases of A, all natural transformations T A T * T * T A can be described in a uniform way by means of a simple geometrical construction.

Natural transformations of Weil functors into bundle functors

Mikulski, Włodzimierz M. (1990)

Proceedings of the Winter School "Geometry and Physics"

[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 ( F 0 k ) . The spaces of all natural transformations of Weil functors into linear...

Natural vector fields and 2-vector fields on the tangent bundle of a pseudo-Riemannian manifold

Josef Janyška (2001)

Archivum Mathematicum

Let M be a differentiable manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric g and a linear symmetric connection K . We classify all natural (in the sense of [KMS]) 0-order vector fields and 2-vector fields on T M generated by g and K . We get that all natural vector fields are of the form E ( u ) = α ( h ( u ) ) u H + β ( h ( u ) ) u V , where u V is the vertical lift of u T x M , u H is the horizontal lift of u with respect to K , h ( u ) = 1 / 2 g ( u , u ) and α , β are smooth real functions defined on R . All natural 2-vector fields are of the form Λ ( u ) = γ 1 ( h ( u ) ) Λ ( g , K ) + γ 2 ( h ( u ) ) u H u V , where γ 1 , γ 2 are smooth real functions defined...
