We obtain the natural diagonal almost product and locally product structures on the total space of the cotangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold. We find the Riemannian almost product (locally product) and the (almost) para-Hermitian cotangent bundles of natural diagonal lift type. We prove the characterization theorem…

Study natural foliations in cotangent bundles of Cartan spaces.

A reductive structure is associated here with Lagrangian canonically defined conserved quantities on gauge-natural bundles. Parametrized transformations defined by the gauge-natural lift of infinitesimal principal automorphisms induce a variational sequence such that the generalized Jacobi morphism is naturally self-ad…

An isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold M into a Riemannian manifold N gives rise in a natural way to the immersion of the tangent bundle TM into the tangent bundle TN with a non-degenerate g- natural metric G.

Introduces higher algebroids via vector bundle comorphisms.

We prove that one can obtain natural bundles of Lie algebras on rank two s-Kähler manifolds, whose fibres are isomorphic to so(s+1,s+1), su(s+1,s+1) and sl(2s + 2,\R). In the most rigid case (which includes complex tori and abelian varieties) these bundles have natural flat connections, whose flat global sections act n…

The paper introduces new metrics on Finsler manifolds and characterizes associated vector fields.

We study some properties of the tangent bundles with metrics of general natural lifted type. We consider a Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ and we find the conditions under which the Riemannian manifold $(TM,G)$, where $TM$ is the tangent bundle of $M$ and $G$ is the general natural lifted metric of $g$, has constant sectio…

We prove that the tangent bundle endowed with a g-natural metrics has constant sectional curvature if and only if it is flat, and then we give a characterization of flat g-natural metrics on tangent bundles.

In a fibre bundle, natural derivatives of a section are defined as tangent vector fields on the image of a section of the fibre bundle. A local extension to vector fields in the tangent bundle leads to a direct proof of the formula expressing the curvature of a connection in terms of covariant derivatives. The result i…

We study the conditions under which the tangent bundle $(TM,G)$ of an $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$ is conformally flat, where $G$ is a general natural lifted metric of $g$. We prove that the base manifold must have constant sectional curvature and we find some expressions for the natural lifted metric $G…

Introduces Darboux-Lie derivative for fiber bundles.

Following work by I. Anderson, in this note we present a formulation of Noether's Second Theorem that is valid on any natural bundle.

An isometric immersion of a Riemannian manifold $M$ into a Riemannian manifold $N$ gives rise in a natural way to variety of immersions into the tangent bundle $TN$ with a non-degenerate $g-$ natural metric $G$. In the paper we introduce and study an immersion into $TN$ defined by the immersion $f:M\longrightarrow N$ i…

We continue the study of the anti-Hermitian structures of general natural lift type on the tangent bundles. We get the conditions under which these structures are in the eight classes obtained by Ganchev and Borisov. We complete the characterization of the general natural anti-Kahlerian structures on the tangent bundle…

Computes derivatives of sections in vector bundles using Lie derivatives.

This PHD thesis is concerned with uncertainty relations in quantum probability theory, state estimation in quantum stochastics, and natural bundles in differential geometry. After some comments on the nature and necessity of decoherence in open systems and its absence in closed ones, we prove sharp, state-independent i…

The tangent bundle of a Riemannian manifold (M,g) with non-degenerated g-natural metric G that admits a Killing vector field is investigated. Using Taylor's formula (TM,G) is decomposed into four classes that are investigated separately. The equivalence of the existence of Killing vector field on M and TM is proved. Ke…

We generalize reduction theorems for classical connections to operators with values in $k$-th order natural bundles. Using the first reduction theorem in order two we classify all (0,2)-tensor fields on the cotangent bundle of a manifold with a linear (non-symmetric) connection.

In this paper, we construct the index bundle gerbe of a family of self-adjoint Dirac-type operators, refining a construction of Segal. In a special case, we construct a geometric bundle gerbe called the caloron bundle gerbe, which comes with a natural connection and curving, and show that it is isomorphic to the analyt…

Study on Ricci solitons on tangent and unit tangent bundles.

We study natural families of d-bar operators on the moduli space of stable parabolic vector bundles. Applying a families index theorem for hyperbolic cusp operators from our previous work, we find formulae for the Chern characters of the associated index bundles. The contributions from the cusps are explicitly expresse…

We determine the structure of the $*$-Lie superalgebra generated by a set of carefully chosen natural operators of an orientable WSD manifold of rank three. This Lie superalgebra is formed by global sections of a natural Lie superalgebra bundle, and turns out to be a product of $\mathbf{sl}(4,\C)$ with the full special…

New connections adapted to graded structures defined for a class of manifolds.

We derive both {\em local} and {\em global} generalized {\em Bianchi identities} for classical Lagrangian field theories on gauge-natural bundles. We show that globally defined generalized Bianchi identities can be found without the {\em a priori} introduction of a connection. The proof is based on a {\em global} decom…

Natural metric structures on the tangent bundle and tangent sphere bundles $S_rM$ of a Riemannian manifold $M$ with radius function $r$ enclose many important unsolved problems. Admitting metric connections on $M$ with torsion, we deduce the equations of induced metric connections on those bundles. Then the equations o…

The Schroedinger operators on the Newtonian space-time are defined in a way which make them independent on the class of inertial observers. In this picture the Schroedinger operators act not on functions on the space-time but on sections of certain one-dimensional complex vector bundle -- the Schroedinger line bundle. …

We slightly extend the notion of a natural fibre bundle by requiring diffeomorphisms of the base to lift to automorphisms of the bundle only infinitesimally, i.e. at the level of the Lie algebra of vector fields. Spin structures are natural only in this extended sense. We classify fibre bundles with this property, assu…

Proves natural operations on holomorphic forms are limited.

A hyperkaehler manifold with a circle action fixing just one complex structure admits a natural a hyperholomorphic line bundle. This forms the basis for the construction of a corresponding quaternionic Kaehler manifold in the work of A.Haydys. We construct in this paper the corresponding holomorphic line bundle on twis…

Weil algebra morphism induce natural transformations between Weil bundles. In some well known cases, a natural transformation is endowed with a canonical structure of affine bundle. We show that this structure arises only when the Weil algebra morphism is surjective and its kernel has null square. Moreover, in some cas…

New geometric objects generalize Lie groupoids, with nontrivial tangent bundle properties.

In our previous papers [Far East Journal of Mathematical Sciences, 35 (2009), 211-223] and [International Journal of Pure and Applied Mathematics, 60 (2010), 15-24] we have developed the theory of Weil prolongation, Weil exponentiability and microlinearity for Frolicher spaces. In this paper we will relativize it so as…

Criterion for flat circle bundles using intrinsically harmonic forms.

Let $E$ be a principle bundle over a compact manifold $M$ with compact structural group $G$. For any $G$-invariant polynomial $P$, The transgressive forms $TP(ω)$ defined by Chern and Simons are shown to extend to forms $ΦP(ω)$ on associated bundles $B$ with fiber a quotient $F=G/H$ of the group. These forms satisfy a …

Characterizes special curves on surface tangent bundles.

Study projective flat vector bundles over Riemann surfaces using Wronskian line bundles.

We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of the concept of a vector bundle and whose standard examples are higher tangent bundles T^nQ playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms. Graded bundles are graded manifolds in the sense that we can choose an atlas whose…

Several representations of geometric shapes involve quotients of mapping spaces. The projection onto the quotient space defines two sub-bundles of the tangent bundle, called the horizontal and vertical bundle. We investigate in these notes the sub-Riemannian geometries of these bundles. In particular, we show for a sel…

We explore the intrinsic geometry of tangent bundles and properties of the mirror map.

Study new metrics on tangent bundles from base manifolds.

Study curvature of determinant bundle over Teichmüller space.

We review the concept of a graded bundle as a natural generalisation of a vector bundle. Such geometries are particularly nice examples of more general graded manifolds. With hindsight there are many examples of graded bundles that appear in the existing literature. We start with a discussion of graded spaces, passing …

We present a clear-cut example of the importance of the functorial approach of gauge-natural bundles and the general theory of Lie derivatives for classical field theory, where the sole correct geometrical formulation of Einstein (-Cartan) gravity coupled with Dirac fields gives rise to an unexpected indeterminacy in t…

A new class of Higgs bundles is introduced in a natural setting. Existence and nonexistence results for Higgs-Hermitian-Yang-Mills metrics are proved.

Bundle Networks explore many-to-one maps using fiber bundles and local trivializations.

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…
