In the previous papers [1], [2] we have studied the prolongations of G-structures to tangent bundles of arbitrary order, and in [3] we have considered the prolongations of connections to the tangential fibre bundles of higher order. The purpose of the present paper is to study the liftings of tensor fields and affine connections to tangent bundles of higher order. In fact, most of results in [4], [5] will be generalized in a natural fashion and some of the formulas concerning vertical and complete lifts in [5] will be unified and generalized in our formulas concerning ‹Λ›-lifts (cf. §3).
