14. The intrinsic definition yields the nonhomogeneous polynomials. One can then define the subspace of homogeneous polynomials of degree q to be composed of the degree q polynomials that satisfy the equation ℰ(f) = -qf, where ℰ is the Euler vector field on T*M defined by θ=-ℰ⌋dθ, and θ is the ℝ-valued canonical one-form on T*M.
