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 in the top order part are given. Also obtained are results on the reduction of real analytic C-R structures to the Cauchy- Riemann equations on a complex manifold via complexification and the study of the convexity of tubular neighborhoods in it.
