Suppose $(M,g)$ and $(N,g')$ are smooth Riemannian manifolds and $J^r(M,N)$ is the smooth manifold of $r$-jets $j^r_xf$ of smooth maps $f:M\to N$. Is there an 'induced' Riemannian metric $g''$ on $J^...

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 ...

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 ($x^a$ ...
