The constructions of general connections on second jet prolongation

Mariusz Plaszczyk

Abstract


We determine all natural operators D transforming general connections Γ on fibred manifolds Y → M and torsion free classical linear connections ∇ on M into general connections D(Γ,∇) on the second order jet prolongation J2Y → M of Y → M.
