$N$th-order approximation of point stabilizing diffeomorphisms by $N$th-order jet group?
NOTE: migrated from math SE.
I was wondering if ever higher jet groups of frames on a (possibly pseudo) Riemannian manifold $M$ approximate the point stabilizing subgroup of diffeomorphisms on $M$ as ...

Torsion free connection $\implies$ Jet coordinates $=$ Taylor expansion coefficients?
Suppose we have some smooth n-dimensional manifold $M$ endowed with basis 1-forms $\theta^a$ with $a=1\cdots n$. Then $\theta^a$ are sections of the coframe bundle $F^* M$. In local coordinates ($x^a$ ...
