Abstract

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

Keywords

higher order cotangent bundle, jet, pth power transformation
