Higher order tangent bundles
Abstract
The tangent bundle of order , of a smooth Banach manifold consists of all equivalent classes of curves that agree up to their accelerations of order . For a Banach manifold and a natural number first we determine a smooth manifold structure on which also offers a fiber bundle structure for . Then we introduce a particular lift of linear connections on to geometrize as a vector bundle over . More precisely based on this lifted nonlinear connection we prove that admits a vector bundle structure over if and only if is endowed with a linear connection. As a consequence applying this vector bundle structure we lift Riemannian metrics and Lagrangians from to . Also, using the projective limit techniques, we declare a generalized Fr\'echet vector bundle structure for over .
