Differential invariants of immersions of manifolds with metric fields. (Q595940)

In the present paper, differential invariants of immersions \(f:X \to Y\) between two manifolds with metric fields are searched, investigating the underlying jet manifolds and corresponding differential group action. It is shown that such action can be reduced to a factorised action with respect to a certain subgroup. Applying the orbit reduction theorem, a basis of first-order invariants is found. Such a basis is used for a characterization of all first-order Lagrangians depending on two metrics on an immersion.
