Double vector bundles and duality

Abstract

The most important examples of a double vector bundle are provided by iterated tangent and cotangent functors: TTM, TT^*M, T^*TM, and T^*T^*M. We introduce the notions of the dual double vector bundle and the dual double vector bundle morphism. Theorems on canonical isomorphisms are formulated and proved. Several examples are given.
