I posted this topic on StackExchange, but it may suit this forum better. Consider a bundle $(E,\pi, M)$ and let $k\in \mathbb N$. I am going to adopt the notations and conventions by Saunders. ...

I am quite used to "counting"/computing finite dimensions. For example, one would expect a hypersurface in $\mathbb{C}^3$ to have dimension $3 - 1 = 2$. But it is often the case that the ...

In what follows, all manifolds are smooth, Hausdorff, paracompact, connected and oriented, and all maps between any two of them are assumed to be smooth. Let $\pi:E\rightarrow M$ be a fiber bundle ...

I am learning formal PDE theory for my research and I am currently struggling to have a basic understanding of the operations involved in completing a (say, linear) PDE system to an involutive one (...

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 $\...
