Title

The constructions of general connections on the fibred product of q copies of the first jet prolongation

Authors

Abstract

We describe all natural operators A transforming general connections Γ on fibred manifolds YM and torsion-free classical linear connections Λ on M into general connections A(Γ,Λ) on the fibred product J<q>YM of q copies of the first jet prolongation J1YM.

Keywords

General connection, classical linear connection, first jet prolongation, bundle functor, natural operator
