Presents background notions of fibered manifolds; first, second, and higher order jet manifolds and connections, including differential operators defined on them; Lagrangian formalism on jet manifolds; the multimomentum Hamiltonian counterpart; constraints, including hyper-regular, semiregular and almost regular Lagrangian densities; and gauge theories with basic advances in gravitation and spontaneous symmetry breaking Dirac Fermion fields.

This work investigates the mathematical framework of gauge theories through the lens of jet manifolds. It provides foundational concepts of fibered and jet manifolds, detailing first, second, and higher-order structures and connections. The text further explores the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalisms on these manifolds, addressing various types of constraints and their implications for theoretical physics.
This monograph is a technical treatment of advanced mathematical physics concepts, likely intended for researchers and graduate students in theoretical physics and mathematics. The detailed exploration of jet manifolds and their application to gauge theories suggests a rigorous and specialized audience. Its focus on foundational mathematical structures for physical theories indicates a contribution to the theoretical underpinnings of areas like gravitation and particle physics.
