The natural linear operators T * T T ( r )

J. Kurek, W. M. Mikulski (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

For natural numbers n ≥ 3 and r a complete description of all natural bilinear operators T * × f T ( 0 , 0 ) T ( 0 , 0 ) T ( r ) is presented. Next for natural numbers r and n ≥ 3 a full classification of all natural linear operators T * | f T T ( r ) is obtained.

Torsion and the second fundamental form for distributions

Geoff Prince (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

The second fundamental form of Riemannian geometry is generalised to the case of a manifold with a linear connection and an integrable distribution. This bilinear form is generally not symmetric and its skew part is the torsion. The form itself is closely related to the shape map of the connection. The codimension one case generalises the traditional shape operator of Riemannian geometry.
