Conjecture on equivalence and iterated covariant derivatives
Conjecture on equivalence and iterated covariant derivatives
Let be the underlying manifold, let be a piecewise smooth tensor field, let the connection belong to , and let in the indicated classes. Let denote the th covariant derivative along . Derivative-preservation conjecture. If
then
for every natural number , whenever such a covariant derivative exists. This proposes that equivalence is preserved by arbitrary iterated covariant differentiation under the stated existence condition; no resolution is supplied.
