Abstract:
In this paper we consider a product preserving functor F of order r and a connection of order r on a manifold M. We introduce horizontal lifts of tensor fields and linear connections from M to F(M) with respect to . Our definitions and results generalize the particular cases of the tangent bundle and the tangent bundle of higher order.
