Introduction to graded bundles Janusz Grabowski Institute of Mathematics Polish Academy of Sciences

We introduce the concept of a graded bundle which is a natural generalization of that of a vector bundle. A canonical example is the higher tangent bundle T n M playing a fundamental role in higher order Lagrangian formalisms. Graded bundles of degree n are particular examples of graded manifolds of degree n in the sense that we can choose an atlas whose local coordinates are homogeneous functions of degrees 0, 1, . . . , n. Note that graded bundles of degree 1 are just vector bundles. A little more specifically, a vector bundle structure E → M is encoded by assigning a weight of zero to the base coordinates and one to the linear coordinates on the total space. Thus, there is essentially a one-to-one correspondence between vector bundles and graded bundles for which we can assign the weight zero and one. The condition of the weight to be one for the fibre coordinates is a restatement of linearity. Thus philosophically, a graded bundle should be viewed as a “non-linear or higher vector bundle”. We then investigate the geometry of graded vector bundles and prove that graded bundles have a convenient equivalent description as homogeneity structures, i.e. manifolds with a smooth action of the multiplicative monoid (R≥0 , ·) of non-negative reals. We also introduce the concept of a double (r-fold, in general) graded bundle, which gives a broad generalization of the concept of a double vector bundle, as well as linearization of a graded bundle which, for example, produces a double vector bundle from a graded bundle of degree 2. Graded bundles equipped with additional compatible structures (e.g. graded-linear bundles, weighted Lie algebroids and weighted Lie groupoids) together with natural examples will also be studied. If time will allow, we will end up with some applications to geometrical mechanics with higher order Lagrangians.
