Abstract Given a double vector bundle $D\to M$, we define a bigraded bundle of algebras $W(D)\to M$ called the “Weil algebra bundle”. The space ${\mathcal{W}}(D)$ of sections of this algebra bundle ”realizes” the algebra of functions on the supermanifold $D[1,1]$. We describe in detail the relations between the Weil algebra bundles of $D$ and those of the double vector bundles $D^{\prime},\ D^{\prime\prime}$ obtained from $D$ by duality operations. We show that ${\mathcal{V}\mathcal{B}}$-algebroid structures on $D$ are equivalent to horizontal or vertical differentials on two of the Weil algebras and a Gerstenhaber bracket on the 3rd. Furthermore, Mackenzie’s definition of a double Lie algebroid is equivalent to compatibilities between two such structures on any one of the three Weil algebras. In particular, we obtain a ”classical” version of Voronov’s result characterizing double Lie algebroid structures. In the case that $D=TA$ is the tangent prolongation of a Lie algebroid, we find that ${\mathcal{W}}(D)$ is the Weil algebra of the Lie algebroid, as defined by Mehta and Abad–Crainic. We show that the deformation complex of Lie algebroids, the theory of IM forms and IM multi-vector fields, and 2-term representations up to homotopy all have natural interpretations in terms of our Weil algebras.

Recently the third author studied horizontal Laplacians in real Finsler vector bundles and complex Finsler manifolds. In this paper, we introduce a class of g-natural metrics Ga,b on the tangent bundle of a Finsler manifold (M, F) which generalizes the associated Sasaki–Matsumoto metric and Miron metric. We obtain the Weitzenböck formula of the horizontal Laplacian associated to Ga,b, which is a second-order differential operator for general forms on tangent bundle. Using the horizontal Laplacian associated to Ga,b, we give some characterizations of certain objects which are geometric interest (e.g. scalar and vector fields which are horizontal covariant constant) on the tangent bundle. Furthermore, Killing vector fields associated to Ga,b are investigated.
