Abstract:
We consider the quotient set of the set of
nondegenerate affinor fields with respect to the action of the
group of nowhere vanishing functions. This set is endowed with a
structure of infinite-dimensional Lie group. On this Lie group, we
construct an object of linear connection with respect to which all
left-invariant vector fields are covariantly constant (the Cartan
connection).
Keywords:Lie group, Lie algebra, linear connection, Cartan connection.
