contents This paper investigates the transfer of classical geometric structures from a smooth manifold $M$ to its Weil bundle $(M^\mathbf A, \tildeπ_M, M)$ associated with a Weil algebra $\mathbf A$. We show that various structures including locally conformal symplectic (lcs), locally conformal cosymplectic (lcc), contact, Jacobi, Sasakian, Walker, sub Riemannian, orientation, Riemannian, and Kählerian structures admit canonical lifts to $M^\mathbf A$. Our approach emphasizes the differential geometric properties of these canonical constructions, utilizing the Weil projection $\tildeπ_M$ and related functorial tools. This provides a unified perspective on endowing Weil bundles with rich geometric structure inherited from the base manifold. Furthermore, we highlight a specific construction yielding a cosymplectic manifold on $M^\mathbf{A}$ (for suitable $M$ and $\mathbf{A}$) that is demonstrably not a trivial suspension of a symplectic manifold. We also explicitly show how integrability of almost complex structures is preserved and clarify the nature of lifted characteristic vector fields.

This paper investigates the transfer of classical geometric structures from a smooth manifold $M$ to its Weil bundle $(M^\mathbf A, \tildeπ_M, M)$ associated with a Weil algebra $\mathbf A$. We show that various structures including locally conformal symplectic (lcs), locally conformal cosymplectic (lcc), contact, Jacobi, Sasakian, Walker, sub Riemannian, orientation, Riemannian, and Kählerian structures admit canonical lifts to $M^\mathbf A$. Our approach emphasizes the differential geometric properties of these canonical constructions, utilizing the Weil projection $\tildeπ_M$ and related functorial tools. This provides a unified perspective on endowing Weil bundles with rich geometric structure inherited from the base manifold. Furthermore, we highlight a specific construction yielding a cosymplectic manifold on $M^\mathbf{A}$ (for suitable $M$ and $\mathbf{A}$) that is demonstrably not a trivial suspension of a symplectic manifold.
