| Description | A reductive structure is associated here with the Lagrangian canonically defined conserved quantities on gauge-natural bundles. Infinitesimal parametrized transformations defined by the gauge-natural lift of infinitesimal principal automorphisms induce a variational sequence such that the generalized Jacobi morphism is naturally self-adjoint. As a consequence, its kernel defines a reductive split structure on the relevant underlying principal bundle. |
