On the construction of the linearization of a nonlinear connection
Abstract
The construction of a linear connection on a pullback bundle from a connection on a vector bundle is explained in terms of fiberwise linear approximation. This procedure clarifies the geometric meaning of the linearized connection as well as the associated parallel transport and curvature.
