Using a model for the bundle F 2 M of semi-holonomic second order frames of a manifold M as an extension of the bundle F 2 M of holonomic second order frames of M , we introduce in F 2 M a principal bundle structure over F 2 M , the structure group being the additive group A 2 (n) of skew-symmetric bilinear maps from R 2 × R n into R n . The composition of the projection of that structure with the existing projection of the bundle F 2 M of non-holonomic second order frames of M over F 2 M provides a principal bundle structure in F 2 M over F 2 M . These results close an existing gap in the theory of second order frame bundles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
