Automorphisms of Submanifolds
Abstract
The paper deals with local symmetries of the infinite-order jet space of C∞-smooth n-dimensional submanifolds in ℝm+n. Transformations under consideration are the most general possible. They need not preserve the distinction between dependent, and independent variables, the order of derivatives and the hierarchy of finite-order jet spaces.
