semi-holonomic 3-jet; natural transformation
Summary:
Let $\bar{J}^3$ be the functor of semi-holonomic $3$-jets and $\bar{J}^{3,2}$ be the functor of those semi-holonomic $3$-jets, which are holonomic in the second order. We deduce that the only natural transformations $\bar{J}^3 \rightarrow \bar{J}^3$ are the identity and the contraction. Then we determine explicitely all natural transformations $\bar{J}^{3,2}\rightarrow \bar{J}^{3,2}$, which form two $5$-parameter families.
