Title

On almost complex structures from classical linear connections

Authors ,

Abstract

Let Mfm be the category of m-dimensional manifolds and local diffeomorphisms and  let T be the tangent functor on Mfm. Let V be the category of real vector spaces and linear maps and let Vm be the category of m-dimensional real vector spaces and linear isomorphisms. We characterize all regular covariant functors F:VmV admitting Mfm-natural operators J~ transforming classical linear connections on m-dimensional manifolds M into almost complex structures J~() on F(T)M=xMF(TxM).

Keywords

Classical linear connection, almost complex structure, Weil bundle, natural operator
