category over manifolds; tangent valued form; Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket; special connections
Summary:
We define the tangent valued $C$-forms for a large class of differential geometric categories. We deduce that the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket of two tangent valued $C$-forms is a $C$-form as well. Then we discuss several concrete cases and we outline the relations to the theory of special connections.
