On geometry of the third tangent bundle. (English) Zbl 0619.53013

The author first studies some geometrical properties of the third iterated tangent bundle T(T(TM)) of an arbitrary manifold M. Then she uses these geometrical results for an original proof of the Jacobi identity for the vector fields on M.
