The flattened infinitesimal transformations generated by the infinitesimal concircular transformations (Q269078)

In general, a flattened curve of order \(r\) is a curve whose points are of flattening order not greater than \(r\)-th. In this case, an \(r\)-th geodesic mapping can be defined as a mapping which transforms geodesic curves into flattened curves of order \(r\). This notion was introduced by \textit{S. G. Lejko} [Russ. Math. 36, No. 2, 62--71 (1992; Zbl 0797.53009); translation from Izv. Vyssh. Uchebn. Zaved., Mat. 1992, No. 2(357), 62--71 (1992)] and is a consistent generalization of an almost geodesic mapping introduced by \textit{N. S. Sinyukov} [Geodesic mappings of Riemannian spaces. Moskva: Nauka (1979; Zbl 0637.53020)]. Moreover, S. G. Lejko [loc. cit.] extended the flattened curves theory to infinitesimal transformations with the help of \(r\)-geodesic infinitesimal maps. In the present paper, the author studies the flattening properties of the complete lift of the infinitesimal concircular transformation. He introduces the concept of the \(E\)-lift for a tensor field of arbitrary type which is needed in the covariant differentiation with respect to the horizontal lift connection.
