The natural operators lifting 1-forms to \(r\)-jet prolongation of the tangent bundle (Q1376480)

The author proves that for \(n\)-manifolds (\(n\geq 3\)) the set of all natural operators \(T^*\rightsquigarrow T^*(J^rT)\) is a free \([2(r+1)^2+1]\)-dimensional module over \(\mathcal C^{\infty}(\mathbb R^{r+1})\). The basis of the \(\mathcal C^{\infty}(\mathbb R^{r+1})\)-module is constructed explicitly.
