On the structure of the moduli of jets of \(G\)-structures with a linear connection. (Q1405264): Difference between revisions

Let \(M\) be an \(n\)-dimensional manifold and \(G\subset GL(n,\mathbb{R})\) a closed subgroup such that \(GL(n,\mathbb{R})/G\) is reductive and each \(G\)-structure admits an associated canonical linear connection. The authors deduce that there exist a family of \(G\)-modules \(S^r\) and homomorphisms \(S^r\to S^k\), \(r\geq k\), such that each space \({\mathfrak M}^r_G(M)\) of \(r\)-jets of \(G\)-structures is canonically isomorphic to the quotient \(S^r/G\). The moduli space \({\mathfrak M}^\infty_G(M)\) is then canonically isomorphic to the quotients \(S^\infty/G\), where \(S^\infty\) is the projective limit of \(S^r\).
