    Torsions of connections on higher order tangent bundles (English)
    0 references
    For every natural affinor \(Q\) on a natural bundle \(FM\), the \(Q\)-torsion of a general connection \(\Gamma\) on \(FM\to M\) is defined as the Fröhlicher-Nijenhuis bracket \([Q,\Gamma]\). The authors determine all natural affinors on the \(r\)-th order vector tangent bundle of a manifold \(M\) and deduce some geometric properties of the corresponding torsions.
