Abstract: We propose a new, infinite class of brackets generalizing the Fr"olicher--Nijenhuis bracket. This class can be reduced to a family of generalized Nijenhuis torsions recently introduced. In particular, the Haantjes bracket, the first example of our construction, is relevant in the characterization of Haantjes moduli of operators. We shall also prove that the vanishing of a higher-level Nijenhuis torsion of a given operator is a sufficient condition for the integrability of its generalized eigen-distributions. This result (which does not require any knowledge of the spectral properties of the operator) generalizes the celebrated Haantjes theorem. The same vanishing condition also guarantees that the operator can be written, in a local chart, in a block-diagonal form.

Review text

One of the main goals of the paper is to introduce and study an infinite hierarchy of brackets whose simplest representative is the well-known Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket acting on the smooth vector fields on a smooth manifold. These higher-order brackets, named by the authors Haantjes brackets, are defined recursively and are labelled by a pair of linear operator fields acting on the smooth manifold. By choosing those two operator fields equal, the authors obtain a recursive procedure to construct an infinite family of tensor fields generalizing the Nijenhuis and Haantjes tensor fields (torsions). Another goal of the paper is to find the geometric interpretation of those torsions. The generalized Nijenhuis tensors have an important application in formulating a sufficient condition for the integrability of the distributions of the generalized eigenvectors of a broad classes of linear operators, thus providing a generalization of the Haantjes theorem for semi-simple operators. The paper could be of interest for a broad audience of differential geometers and mathematical physicists.
