Induced connections on total spaces of fiber bundles. (English) Zbl 1197.53029

A construction transforming a general connection \(\Gamma\) on a fibered manifold \(Y\rightarrow M\) and a classical connection \(\Lambda\) on its base \(M\) into a classical connection on the total space \(Y\) by means of a vertical parallelism \(\Phi\) and an auxiliary linear connection \(\Delta\) is presented. Relations to the theory of gauge-natural operators are discussed.
