| Description | Let $M$ be a differentiable manifold with a pseudo-Riemannian metric $g$ and a linear symmetric connection $K$. We classify all natural 0-order vector fields and 2-vector fields on $TM$ generated by $g$ and $K$. We get that all natural vector fields are linear combinations of the vertical lift of $u\in T_xM$ and the horizontal lift of $u$ with respect to $K$. Similarlz all natural 2-vector fields are linear combinatins of two canonical 2-vector fields induced by $g$ and $K$. Conditions for natural vector fields and natural 2-vector fields to define a Jacobi or a Poisson structure on $TM$ are disscused. |
