Let $${\mathcal M}f$$ be the category of all manifolds and all smooth maps, $${\mathcal M}f_m$$ be the category of $$m$$-dimensional manifolds and their local diffeomorphims and $${\mathcal FM}_m$$ be the category of fibered manifolds and their morphisms with the base map in $${\mathcal M}f_m$$.
The aim of this article is to characterize all extensions of jet functors on $${\mathcal FM}_m \times {\mathcal M} F$$.
The author starts by defining the general concept of jet functor, then, using as tools:
His previous work with W. M. Mikulski on product preserving bundle functors on $${\mathcal FM}_m$$ [Differ. Geom. Appl. 11, No. 2, 105-115 (1999; Zbl 0935.58001)], from which he knows that every product preserving functor is a Weil functor; C. Ehresmann’s work of non-holonomic jets [C. R. Acad. Sci., Paris 239, 1762-1764 (1954; Zbl 0057.15603], and P. Libermann’s very readable survey on semi-holonomic jets [Arch. Math., Brno 33, No. 3, 173-189 (1996; Zbl 0915.58004)].
He proves that there are only: two extensions, horizontal and vertical, in the case of holonomic $$r$$-jets with $$r \geq 2$$; he then gives a complete description of all extensions of $${\tilde J}^r(M,N) \supset J^r(M,N)$$ the bundle of non-holonomic $$r$$-jets of $$M$$ into $$N$$. As a final application, he determines that in the case of a one-semi-holonomic jet functor, there are only two possible extensions.
