Are affine maps (wrt to a connection), which preserve a tensor field, given by a PDE?

Let $(M, \nabla)$ be a manifold together with a connection on $TM$ and let $T$ be a tensor field on $M$. Suppose the pseudogroup $\Gamma$ of locally defined smooth maps, that simultanously preserve ...

Multivalued solution of PDE ${v_{xx}v_{yy}-v_{xy}^{2}}={(1+v_{x}^{2}+v_{y}^{2})^2}$

Let's start with a definition: Definition: A scalar k-th order differential equation on a smooth manifold $M$, is $F(x,v,\frac{\partial {^\left | \sigma \right |}v}{\partial x^\sigma })=0 $ for $\...

Inverse Problem for jet equations

The following is a well known fact and due to the functorial properties of the jet functor: Suppose you have two smooth manifolds $M$ and $N$ and maps $f:M \rightarrow N$ as well as $g: M \rightarrow ...
