I classified bilinear differential operators acting in the spaces of tensor fields on any real or complex manifold and invariant with respect to the diffeomorphisms in 1980. Here I give the details of the proof.

The space of linear differential operators on a smooth manifold $M$ has a natural one-parameter family of $Diff(M)$ (and $Vect(M)$)-module structures, defined by their action on the space of tensor-densities. It is shown that, in the case…

For two positive integers m and n, we let ${\mathcal P}_n$ be the open convex cone in ${\mathbb R}^{n(n+1)/2}$ consisting of positive definite n x n real symmetric matrices and let ${\mathbb R}^{(m,n)}$ be the set of all m x n real…

In this paper we study invariant local operations that can performed on a Fedosov manifold, with a particular emphasis on tensor-valued operations (also known as natural tensors). Our main result describes the spaces of homogeneous natural…
