Jet involution and prolongations of connections
Given a Weil algebra and a smooth manifold , we prove that the set of kernels of regular -points of , , has a differentiable manifold structure and is a principal fiber bundle.
We review the approach to the calculus of variations using Ehresmann's theory of jets. We describe different types of jet manifold, different types of variational problem and different cohomological structures associated with such problems.
We apply the Cartan-Kähler theorem for the k-Dirac operator studied in Clifford analysis and to the parabolic version of this operator. We show that for the tableaux of the first prolongations of these two operators are involutive. This gives us a new characterization of the set of initial conditions for the 2-Dirac operator.
This paper is concerned with compact Kähler manifolds whose tangent bundle splits as a sum of subbundles. In particular, it is shown that if the tangent bundle is a sum of line bundles, then the manifold is uniformised by a product of curves. The methods are taken from the theory of foliations of (co)dimension 1.
We extend some results by Goldshtein, Kuzminov, and Shvedov about the -cohomology of warped cylinders to -cohomology for . As an application, we establish some sufficient conditions for the nontriviality of the -torsion of a surface of revolution.
A toute deux-forme fermée, sur une variété connexe, on associe une famille d’extensions centrales du groupe de ses automorphismes par son tore des périodes. On discute ensuite quelques propriétés de cette construction.
We classify all F2Mm1, m2, n1, n2-natural operators Atransforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections ∇ on fibered-fibered manifolds Y of dimension (m1,m2, n1, n2) into rth order Lagrangians A(∇) on the fibered-fibered linear frame bundle Lfib-fib(Y) on Y. Moreover, we classify all F2Mm1, m2, n1, n2-natural operators B transforming projectable-projectable torsion-free classical linear connections ∇ on fiberedfibered manifolds Y of dimension (m1, m2, n1, n2) into Euler...
