Spray algebra

Abstract:
The infinite dimensional tensor algebra of polylinear symmetries of spray of affine connection is described. Components of this graded algebra correspond different geometrical aspects of symmetry. We are studying the structure of the algebra, describing "standard" solutions of natural differential operators appeared and  introduce the notion of "Bochner type" obstacles for symmetry.
