We also prove that the vanishing of a higher-level Nijenhuis torsion of an operator field is a sufficient condition for the integrability of its eigen-distributions. This result (which does not re- quire any knowledge of the spectral properties of the operator) generalizes the celebrated Haantjes theorem. The same vanishing condition also guarantees that the operator can be written, in a local chart, in a block-diagonal form.

Abstract
We propose a new, infinite class of brackets generalizing the Frölicher– Nijenhuis bracket. This class can be reduced to a family of generalized Nijenhuis torsions recently introduced. In particular, the Haantjes bracket, the first example of our construc- tion, is relevant in the characterization of Haantjes moduli of operators. We also prove that the vanishing of a higher-level Nijenhuis torsion of an operator field is a sufficient condition for the integrability of its eigen-distributions. This result (which does not re- quire any knowledge of the spectral properties of the operator) generalizes the celebrated Haantjes theorem. The same vanishing condition also guarantees that the operator can be written, in a local chart, in a block-diagonal form.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
