Abstract

The generalized vector is defined on an nn dimensional manifold. Interior product, Lie derivative acting on generalized pp-forms, 1pn-1\le p\le n are introduced. Generalized commutator of two generalized vectors are defined. Adding a correction term to Cartan's formula the generalized Lie derivative's action on a generalized vector field is defined. We explore various identities of the generalized Lie derivative with respect to generalized vector fields, and discuss an application.
