Cartan connection and its geodesics on a manifold of nondegenerate affinor fields

E. M. Romanova

Kazan State Finance Economic Institute

Abstract: We consider the quotient manifold of the manifold of nondegenerate affinor fields on a compact manifold with respect to the action of the group of nowhere vanishing functions. On this manifold, we construct a Cartan connection and find its torsion tensor. We also find the geodesics of the Cartan connection.

Keywords: infinite-dimensional differentiable manifold, Lie group, Lie algebra, linear connection, Cartan connection, torsion tensor, geodesic.
