Abstract:
We prove general reduction theorems for gauge natural operators transforming principal connections and classical linear connections
on the base manifold into sections of an arbitrary gauge natural bundle. Then we apply our results to the principal prolongation
of connections. Finally we describe all such gauge natural operators for some special cases of a Lie group G.
