Develops higher-order Euler-Poincaré field equations for principal G-bundles.

In our [Higher-order preconnections in synthetic differential geometry of jet bundles, Beiträge zur Algebra und Geometrie, 45 (2004), 677-696] we have established the affine bundle theorem in the synthetic approach to jet bundles in terms of infinitesimal spaces Dⁿ's. In our succeeding [Synthetic differential geo…

The reduction theorems for general linear and classical connections are generalized for operators with values in higher order gauge-natural bundles. We prove that natural operators depending on the $s_1$-jets of classical connections, on the $s_2$-jets of general linear connections and on the $r$-jets of tensor fields …

First-order jet bundles can be put at the foundations of the modern geometric approach to nonlinear PDEs, since higher-order jet bundles can be seen as constrained iterated jet bundles. The definition of first-order jet bundles can be given in many equivalent ways - for instance, by means of Grassmann bundles. In this …

This paper simplifies jet bundles of Lie group-valued functions using linear connections.

We study the geometry of jets of submanifolds with special interest in the relationship with the calculus of variations. We give a new proof of the fact that higher order jets of submanifolds are affine bundles; as a by-product we obtain a new expression for the associated vector bundles. We use Green-Vinogradov formul…

Jet bundles as higher-order polarised $k$-contact manifolds

In this note we examine a natural concept of a curve on a supermanifold and the subsequent notion of the jet of a curve. We then tackle the question of geometrically defining the higher order tangent bundles of a supermanifold. Finally we make a quick comparison with the notion of a curve presented here are other commo…

Let $M$ be a smooth manifold and $\mathcal{S}$ a semi-spray defined on a sub-bundle $\mathcal{C}$ of the tangent bundle $TM$. In this work it is proved that the only non-trivial $k$-jet approximation to the exact geodesic deviation equation of $\mathcal{S}$, linear on the deviation functions and invariant under an spec…

We compare two ways of interpreting higher order connections. The geometric approach lies in the decomposition of higher order tangent space into the horizontal and vertical structures while the jet--like approach considers a higher order connection as the section of a jet prolongation of a fibered manifold. Particular…

In a natural way, the local diffeomorphisms of a manifold onto itself act on the reference frame bundles of any order and on the bundles associated with them. Due to the transitivity, the invariants by diffeomorphisms of an associated bundle correspond to the real functions on the orbit space of the action of the jet g…

We study an intrinsic distribution, called polar, on the space of $l$-dimensional integral elements of the higher order contact structure on jet spaces. The main result establishes that this exterior differential system is the prolongation of a natural system of PDEs, named pasting conditions, on sections of the bundle…

We consider the variational complex on infinite jet space and the complex of variational derivatives for Lagrangians of multidimensional paths and study relations between them. The discussion of the variational (bi)complex is set up in terms of a flat connection in the jet bundle. We extend it to supercase using a part…

Unified geometric interpretation of statistical estimation inequalities.

In this study, we generalize double tangent bundles to double jet bundles. We present a secondary vector bundle structure on a 1-jet of a vector bundle. We show that 1-jet of a vector bundle carries two vector bundle structures, namely primary and secondary structures. We also show that the manifold charts induced by p…

An $(r,n)$-velocity is an $r$-jet with source at $0 \in \R^n$, and target in a manifold $Y$. An $(r,n)$-velocity is said to be regular, if it has a representative which is an immersion at $0 \in \R^{n}$. The manifold $T^{r}_{n}Y$ of $(r,n)$-velocities as well as its open, $L^{r}_{n}$-invariant, dense submanifold $\Imm …

The purpose of this paper is to prove that each of the following conditions is equivalent to that the foliation ${\cal F}$ is riemannian: 1) the lifted foliation ${\cal F}^{r}$ on the $r$-transverse bundle $ν^{r}{\cal F}$ is riemannian for an $r\geq 1$; 2) the foliation ${\cal F}_{0}^{r}$ on a slashed $ν_{\ast}^{r}{\ca…

The aim of this paper is to propose an unambiguous intrinsic formalism for higher-order field theories which avoids the arbitrariness in the generalization of the conventional description of field theories, which implies the existence of different Cartan forms and Legendre transformations. We propose a differential-geo…

Study of Pascal algebra matrices and their jet bundle map for vector bundles.

The geometry of jets of submanifolds is studied, with special interest in the relationship with the calculus of variations. A new intrinsic geometric formulation of the variational problem on jets of submanifolds is given. Working examples are provided.

A Jet groupoid R_q over a manifold X is a special Lie groupoid consisting of q-jets of local diffeomorphisms from X to X. As a subbundle of the q-th order jet bundle of the trivial bundle X times X, a jet groupoid can be considered as a nonlinear system of partial differential equations (PDE). This leads to the concept…

Geometric AD framework simplifies derivative computation in JAX.

The geometrical structure known as Tulczyjew triple has been used with success in analytical mechanics and first order field theory to describe a wide range of physical systems including Lagrangian/Hamiltonian systems with constraints and/or sources, or with singular Lagrangian. Starting from the first principles of th…

The study identifies holomorphic sections on jet spaces of the Riemann sphere.

Study optimal holomorphic extensions for jets along submanifolds as tensor powers increase.

This paper is the sequel to our previous paper (Differetial Geometry of Microlinear Frolicher spaces IV-1), where three approaches to jet bundles are presented and compared. The first objective in this paper is to give the affine bundle theorem for the second and third approaches to jet bundles. The second objective is…

Systems of partial differential equations lie at the heart of physics. Despite this, the general theory of these systems has remained rather obscure in comparison to numerical approaches such as finite element models and various other discretisation schemes. There are, however, several theoretical approaches to systems…

Characterizes Lie-Backlund vector fields in infinite jet bundles that can be exponentiated.

We obtain the cohomology of the variational bicomplex on the infinite order jet space of a smooth fiber bundle in the class of exterior forms of finite jet order. This provides a solution of the global inverse problem of the calculus of variations of finite order on fiber bundles.

Using Caputo fractional derivative of order $α$ we build the fractional jet bundle of order $α$ and its main geometrical structures. Defined on that bundle, some fractional dynamical systems with applications to economics are studied.

Constructs graded jet bundles for Z-graded manifolds and vector bundles.

The jet bundle $J^kG$ of $k$-jets of curves in a Lie group $G$ has a natural Lie group structure. We present an explicit formula for the group multiplication in the right trivialization and for the group 2-cocycle describing the abelian Lie group extension $\mathfrak{g}\to J^{k}G\to J^{k-1}G$.

We study natural lifting operations from a bundle E over R to the dual bundle of its first-jet bundle. The main purpose is to define a complete lift of a type (1,1) tensor field on E and to understand all features of its construction. Various other lifting operations of tensorial objects on E are needed for that purpos…

The paper introduces the notion of Γ-linear connection \nabla on the 1-jet fibre bundle J^1(T,M), and presents its local components. We also describe the local Ricci and Bianchi identities of $\nabla$.

Study compares bundles with connections to prehomogeneous geometries.

New method for foliated bundles using holonomy groupoids.

We discuss the Morse estimates for the curvature of several metrics on Semple weighted projective bundle over a projective variety. Following Demailly works on holomorphic Morse inequalities we show an analogue of his results along the Green-Griffiths conjecture for invariant jets.

In this paper we propose the time-dependent generalization of an `ordinary' autonomous human biomechanics, in which total mechanical + biochemical energy is not conserved. We introduce a general framework for time-dependent biomechanics in terms of jet manifolds associated to the extended musculo-skeletal configuration…

In this paper we study holomorphic vector bundles with singular Hermitian metrics whose curvature are Hermitian matrix currents. We obtain an extension theorem for holomorphic jet sections of nef holomorphic vector bundle on compact Kähler manifolds. Using it we prove that Fano manifolds with strong Griffiths nef tange…

We generalize Demailly's construction of projective jet bundles and strictly negatively curved pseudometrics on them to the logarithmic case. We establish this logarithmic generalization explicitly via coordinates, just as Noguchi's generalization of the jets used by Green-Griffiths. As a first application, we give a m…

Higher-order tangent bundles have geometric structures compatible with their iterated bundle structure.

The consequences of the splitting of higher jet sequences of vector bundles on a compact complex (Kaehler) manifold are studied, proving an infinitesimal convers to a result of I.Biswas.
