Isomorphism classes for 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 . In the previous work of the author he proved that , , admits a vector bundle structure on if and only if is endowed with a linear connection or equivalently a connection map on is defined. This bundle structure depends heavily on the choice of the connection. In this paper we ask about the extent to which this vector bundle structure remains isomorphic. To this end we define the notion of the 'th order differential for a given differentiable map between manifolds and . As we shall see, becomes a vector bundle morphism if the base manifolds are endowed with -related connections. In particular, replacing a connection with a -related one, where is a diffeomorphism, follows invariant vector bundle structures. Finally, using immersions on Hilbert manifolds, convex combination of connection maps and manifold of maps we offer three examples to support our theory and reveal its interaction with the known problems such as Sasaki lift of metrics.
