Weil bundle; tangent valued form; Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket; complete lift; connection; torsion
Summary:
We prove that the so-called complete lifting of tangent valued forms from a manifold $M$ to an arbitrary Weil bundle over $M$ preserves the Frölicher-Nijenhuis bracket. We also deduce that the complete lifts of connections are torsion-free in the sense of M. Modugno and the second author.
