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

Abstract

We describe all natural operators \(A\) transforming general connections \(\Gamma\) on fibred manifolds \(Y \rightarrow M\) and torsion-free classical linear connections \(\Lambda\) on \(M\) into general connections \(A(\Gamma,\Lambda)\) on the fibred product \(J^{<q>}Y \rightarrow M\) of \(q\) copies of the first jet prolongation \(J^{1}Y \rightarrow M\).
