Description | In this paper we prove higher order version of the Utiyama-like theorem. To prove the Utiyama-like theorem in order $r\ge 2$ we have to use auxiliary classical connections on base manifolds. We prove that any natural (invariant) operator of order $r$ for principal connections on principal $G$-bundles and for classical connections on base manifolds with values in a $(1,0)$-order $G$-gauge-natural bundle factorizes through curvature tensors of both connections and their covariant differentials, where the covariant differential of curvature tensors of principal connections is considered with respect to both connections. |
