Jets of sections of vector bundles expressed by symmetrized iterated covariant derivatives - who did it first?
The (non-unique) bundle isomorphism between the bundle $J^r E$ of $r$-th order jets of sections of a vector bundle $\pi:E\rightarrow M$ and the direct sum $$\bigoplus^r_{k=0}\vee^kT^*M\otimes E\...

What is the relationship between higher-order derivations (in the sense of Hasse-Schmidt) and differential operators?
Let $A$ and $B$ be $R$-algebras. A Hasse-Schmidt $m$-derivation $D : A \to B$ is a tuple $(D_0, D_1, \dots, D_m)$ of $R$-linear maps $A \to B$ satisfying the generalized Leibniz law,
$$ D_k(xy) = \...

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 ...

Physical intuition for curvature on higher order frame bundles?
$\DeclareMathOperator\SO{SO}$A priori: I apologize if this isn't up to Mathoverflow standards, I've had very little luck getting questions on this subject answered elsewhere.
I'm looking for a physics ...

Surface terms in the calculus of variations on jet bundles
Let $\pi:N\rightarrow M$ be a fibered manifold with $m=\dim M$ and $m+n=\dim N$. The variational bicomplex on the infinite jet space $J^\infty(\pi)$ is denoted $(\Omega^{k,l}(\pi),\delta,\mathbf d)$ ...

Jet at a singular point or a submanifold
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold, $p\in M$ and $f\in C^\infty(M\setminus\{p\})$.
We will say that $f$ has a power-law singularity at $p$ of order $\eta$ if for every smooth immersion $\gamma:(-1,1)\to M$ ...

Integral sections of higher-order jet fields
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.

How is differentiation defined on the Green-Griffiths jet bundles?
In their original paper Green and Griffiths remark that there is a differentiation operation on their jet bundles:
$$ (-)' : \mathcal{J}_{k,m} \to \mathcal{J}_{k+1,m+1} $$
Which they define on p.47 ...

$N$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 ...

How is the $k$-times iterative frame bundle $FF\cdots FM$ associated to the higher order frame bundle $F^k M$?
$\DeclareMathOperator\Gl{Gl}$As I understand it a natural bundle is one for which a diffeomorphism on the base space lifts to an automorphism on the total space of the bundle. It is my understanding ...

How far can one get by counting spaces of solutions this way?
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 ...
