Lie derivatives of sections of natural vector bundles
Journal of Lie Theory, Special issue dedicated to the memory of Joseph A. Wolf, Volume 36 (2026) no. 1, pp. 133-138

Time derivatives of pullbacks and push forwards along smooth curves of diffeomorphisms of sections of natural vector bundles are computed in terms of Lie derivatives along adapted non-autonomous vector fields by extending a key lemma of Mauhart and Michor [Arch. Math., Brno 28 (1992)]. There is also the analogous result about the first non-vanishing derivative of higher order.
