Review text

The purpose of this paper is to study certain nonlinear connections on submanifolds. The author gives a basic new method to induce some nonlinear connections on a submanifold of a Finsler or a Lagrange manifold. Let \(M'@>i>> M\) be a submanifold and \(\tau M'= (TM',p',M')\), \(\tau M= (TM,p,M)\) the tangent vector bundles of \(M'\) and \(M\). Consider the tangent vector bundles of order two \(\tau TM'\), \(\tau TM\) and \(\tau TM|_{TM'}\) the induced vector bundle \((\tau i)^*\tau TM\). Let \(\nu_{M'}TM\) be the vertical tangent bundle associated with \(M'\). Denote as \(V\tau M\) the vertical vector bundle on \(TM\). The author proves the following theorem: ``Every Finsler splitting \(Q\) of the inclusion morphism \(\tau i:\tau M'\to \tau M|_{M'}\) induces a splitting \(R_Q:\nu_{M'}TM\to \tau TM'\) of the inclusion morphism \(I:\tau TM'\to \nu_{M'}TM\), such that \(R_Q\) sends \(V\tau M|_{TM'}\) on \(V\tau M'\). Conversely, a splitting \(R\) of the inclusion morphism \(I\), with this property, defines canonically a Finsler splitting \(Q\) of \(\tau i\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0903.00045].
