Covariant second variation for first order Lagrangians on fibered manifolds II: generalized curvature and Bianchi identities
The notion of generalized curvature structures ensuing from the second variation of a (first–order) Lagrangian is extensively discussed. It is shown that generalized curvature structures satisfy appropriate (generalized) Bianchi identities. Formulae applicable to curvature Lagrangians are developed...
