Multilocal invariants for the classical groups (Q1864256)

Let a group \(G\) act on a manifold \(M\). Then one can consider the extended action of \(G\) on higher order tangent vectors located at distinct points of \(M\). The invariants of this extended action are called multilocal differential invariants. In the paper under review, the author treats several explicit cases (e.g. the symplectic group, the affine group, the projective group, etc.), restricting his attention to curve invariants, meaning that the invariants are evaluated locally along curves. On the first order bundle he finds, besides the zero-order invariants and their first-order natural prolongations, an additional set of functionally independent invariants, which are related to the invariant polynomials of the Lie algebra of the transformation group. Analogous results are then obtained at each order.
