The author proves that for a manifold of dimension greater than 2 the sets of all natural operators and , respectively, are free finitely generated -modules. The space , this is, jets with target 0 of maps from to , is called the space of all -covelocities on . Examples of such operators are shown and the bases of the modules are explicitly constructed. The definitions and methods are those of the book of I. Kolář, P. W. Michor and J. Slovák [Natural operations in differential geometry, Springer-Verlag, Berlin (1993; Zbl 0782.53013)].
