Geometry of fibered submanifolds
R. V. Vosylius
Abstract:
Let
$\theta^k$ be a differential equation given in the fibre bundle
$(E,M,\rho)$. We shall regard the fibre bundle
$(L,N,\pi)$ and the immersion of fibre bundles
$$
\nu\colon L\to E.
$$
Let the map
$$
f\colon N\to M
$$
be the immersion of manifolds, satisfayng the condition
$$
f\circ\pi=\rho\circ\nu.
$$
$N_f$ shall design the immersed submanifold.
Simultaneously with the differential equation
$\theta^k$ differential equation
$\theta^{k+h}$ inductively defined with the help of equations
$$
\theta^{k+h}=\rho(\theta^{k+h-1})
$$
are considered, where
$\rho(\theta^{k+h-1})$ designs the prolongation of the equation
$\theta^{k+h-1}$.
If the immersion of the fibre bundles
$$
\nu\colon L\to E
$$
is given, in the fibre bundle
$J^lL$ we obtain the subset
$$
\omega_\nu^l=\nu^l(I(\theta^l))|_{E_\nu^l}
$$
where
$E_\nu^l$ designs the restriction
$J^lE|N_f$ and
$$
\nu^l\colon E_\nu^l\to J^lL
$$
is the mapping induced by immersion
$\nu$.
The immersion
$$
\nu_l\colon L\to E
$$
is called the
$h$-deformation of immersion in respect of the differential equation
$\theta^k$, if the following condition
$$
\omega_{\nu_1}^{k+h}=\omega_{\nu_2}^{k+h}
$$
is satisfied.
The
$h$-deformation is a relation of equivalence in the set of fibred submanifolds.
The case of the first order differential equation in involution is being studied.
It is shown that the possibility of 0-deformation is necessary and sufficient condition for the possibility of
$h$-deformation of two regular fibred submanifolds.
Conclusively some applications for the geometry of homogeneous space submanifolds are regarded. A well-known theorem on the finiteness of the number of independent differential invariants of homogeneous space submanifolds is shown [3].
