Vertical lifts of higher order of multivector fields and applications to Poisson geometry (Q6059325)

A \(k\)-th order tangent bundle of a manifold \(M\) is defined as the space \(T^kM=J^k_0(\mathbb R,M)\) of all \(k\)-jets of \(\mathbb R\) to \(M\) with source \(0\in\mathbb{R}\), and a multivector field of degree \(a\) over \(M\) is a section of the vector bundle \((\Lambda^aTM\to M)\). In this paper, the authors define vertical lifts of higher order of multivector fields over \(M\) to \(k\)-th order tangent bundles \(T^kM\). They also describe some properties of such lifts, mainly in the Poisson manifolds.
