Abstract

We show how the machine of PROP profiles invented by S. Merkulov can be used to study and classify natural operators in differential geometry. We also give an interpretation of graph complexes arising in this context in terms of representation theory. As application, we prove several results on classification of natural operators acting on vector fields and connections.
