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. This manifold 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). We also find the geodesics of the Cartan connection.

Keywords: infinite-dimensional differentiable manifold, Lie group, Lie algebra, linear connection, Cartan connection, left-invariant vector field, one-parameter subgroups of the Lie group, geodesic.
