Linear Transports along Paths in Vector Bundles v. Properties of Curvature and Torsion
A geometric interpretation of curvature and torsion of linear transports along paths is presented. A number of (Bianchi type) identities satisfied by these quantities are derived. The obtained results contain as special cases the corresponding classical ones concerning curvature and torsion of linear connections.
متن کاملTransports along Paths in Fibre Bundles III. Consistency with Bundle Morphisms
The general problem for consistency between arbitrary transports along paths in fibre bundles and bundle morphisms between them is formulated and investigated. The special case of one fibre bundle, its morphism and transport along paths acting in it is considered. The consistency between linear transports along paths in a vector bundle and a Hermitian structure in it is studied.
متن کاملLinear Transports along Paths in Vector Bundles I. General Theory
The (parallel) linear transports along paths in vector bundles are axiomatically described. Their general form and certain properties are found. It is shown that these transports are locally (i.e. along every fixed path) always Euclidean ones in a senses that there exist frames in which their matrices are unit. The investigated transports along paths are described in terms of their local coeffi...
متن کاملLinear Transports along Paths in Vector Bundles IV. Consistency with Bundle Metrics
The problem for consistency between linear transports along paths and real bundle metrics in real vector bundles is stated. Necessary and/or sufficient conditions, as well as conditions for existence, for such consistency are derived. All metrics (resp. transports) consistent with a given transport (resp. metric) are explicitly obtained. The special case of linear transports, generated by deriv...
متن کاملLinear Transports along Paths in Vector Bundles II. Some Applications
The linear transports along paths in vector bundles introduced in Ref. [1] are applied to the special case of tensor bundles over a given differentiable manifold. Links with the transports along paths generated by derivations of tensor algebras are investigated. A possible generalization of the theory of geodesics is proposed when the parallel transport generated by a linear connection is repla...
