Torsions of connections on higher order cotangent bundles

Miroslav Doupovec, Jan Kurek (2003)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

By a torsion of a general connection Γ on a fibered manifold Y M we understand the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket of Γ and some canonical tangent valued one-form (affinor) on Y . Using all natural affinors on higher order cotangent bundles, we determine all torsions of general connections on such bundles. We present the geometrical interpretation and study some properties of the torsions.

Torsions of connections on time-dependent Weil bundles

Miroslav Doupovec (2003)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We introduce the concept of a dynamical connection on a time-dependent Weil bundle and we characterize the structure of dynamical connections. Then we describe all torsions of dynamical connections.

Total connections in Lie groupoids

Juraj Virsik (1995)

Archivum Mathematicum

A total connection of order r in a Lie groupoid Φ over M is defined as a first order connections in the ( r - 1 ) -st jet prolongations of Φ . A connection in the groupoid Φ together with a linear connection on its base, ie. in the groupoid Π ( M ) , give rise to a total connection of order r , which is called simple. It is shown that this simple connection is curvature-free iff the generating connections are. Also, an r -th order total connection in Φ defines a total reduction of the r -th prolongation of Φ to Φ × Π ( M ) ....

Uniqueness results for operators in the variational sequence

W. M. Mikulski (2009)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove that the most interesting operators in the Euler-Lagrange complex from the variational bicomplex in infinite order jet spaces are determined up to multiplicative constant by the naturality requirement, provided the fibres of fibred manifolds have sufficiently large dimension. This result clarifies several important phenomena of the variational calculus on fibred manifolds.

Universal prolongation of linear partial differential equations on filtered manifolds

Katharina Neusser (2009)

Archivum Mathematicum

The aim of this article is to show that systems of linear partial differential equations on filtered manifolds, which are of weighted finite type, can be canonically rewritten as first order systems of a certain type. This leads immediately to obstructions to the existence of solutions. Moreover, we will deduce that the solution space of such equations is always finite dimensional.

Variations by generalized symmetries of local Noether strong currents equivalent to global canonical Noether currents

Marcella Palese (2016)

Communications in Mathematics

We will pose the inverse problem question within the Krupka variational sequence framework. In particular, the interplay of inverse problems with symmetry and invariance properties will be exploited considering that the cohomology class of the variational Lie derivative of an equivalence class of forms, closed in the variational sequence, is trivial. We will focalize on the case of symmetries of globally defined field equations which are only locally variational and prove that variations of local...

Weilian prolongations of actions of smooth categories

Ivan Kolář (2008)

Archivum Mathematicum

First of all, we find some further properties of the characterization of fiber product preserving bundle functors on the category of all fibered manifolds in terms of an infinite sequence A of Weil algebras and a double sequence H of their homomorphisms from [5]. Then we introduce the concept of Weilian prolongation W H A S of a smooth category S over and of its action D . We deduce that the functor ( A , H ) transforms D -bundles into W H A D -bundles.
