Precise definition of a linear total differential operator

In the works of A. M. Vinogradov on calculus on the infinite jet space, differential equations and "diffieties", a central notion is that of a $\mathcal C$-differential operator. If $\pi:Y\...

Connection as a jet section [closed]

Let $\pi:E\longrightarrow M$ a smooth fibre bundle. A connection is a linear bundle homomorphism $\Phi:TE\longrightarrow TE$ such that $\Phi$ is a projection to the vertical bundle $VE\subset TE$. I ...

Constructing jet bundles from a cocycle of smooth transition functions

Suppose we are given an open cover $\mathcal{U}=(U_{i})_{i \in I}$ of a smooth manifold $M$, a cocycle of smooth transition functions $g_{ij}: U_{ij} \to G$ where $G$ is a Lie group, and a (not ...

How to visualize the dual objects of jets of functions?

I work with a smooth $f: M \to \Bbb C$ and I would like to have an object mimicking the concept of "$k$-th order differential" from multivariate calculus. For various reasons that are not important ...
