On almost complex structures from classical linear connections

Abstract

Let Mfm be the category of m-dimensional manifolds and local diffeomorphisms and let T be the tangent functor on Mfm. Let V be the category of real vector spaces and linear maps and let Vm be the category of m-dimensional real vector spaces and linear isomorphisms. We characterize all regular covariant functors F:Vm→V admitting Mfm-natural operators J transforming classical linear connections ∇ on m-dimensional manifolds M into almost complex structures J(∇) on F(T)M=⋃x∈MF(TxM).
