Creator:

Fredricks, Gregory Alan

Abstract:

A theory of higher order connections is developed as a reduction of the structure group of the jet bundle of sections of a smooth vector bundle. This definition leads naturally to higher order curvatures and covariant derivatives. Curvature Conditions for a second order partial differential operator to have constant coefficients...
