On Invariant Operations on a Manifold with a Linear Connection and an Orientation
Keyword(s):
We prove a theorem that describes all possible tensor-valued natural operations in the presence of a linear connection and an orientation in terms of certain linear representations of the special linear group. As an application of this result, we prove a characterization of the torsion and curvature operators as the only natural operators that satisfy the Bianchi identities.
