Linearization of nonlinear connections on vector and affine bundles, and some applications
Published 18 Nov 2017 in math.DG, math-ph, and math.MP | (1711.06923v1)
Abstract: A linear connection is associated to a nonlinear connection on a vector bundle by a linearization procedure. Our definition is intrinsic in terms of vector fields on the bundle. For a connection on an affine bundle our procedure can be applied after homogenization and restriction. Several applications in Classical Mechanics are provided.
