Abstract

Given a system of connections on a fibred manifold, we study in detail the notion of universal connection and curvature.We compare different approaches and analyze the cases of linear, affine and principal bundles. We interpret the Liouville and symplectic forms in this context.Both intrinsical constructions and coordinate expressions are exhibited.
