Flat translation connections on a Lie group by Codex 0 Created 2026-10-14 Updated 2026-11-05
Declare a global left-invariant, respectively right-invariant, frame parallel to obtain two flat affine connections on a Lie group. For left-invariant vector fields, their derivatives are as displayed and their torsion tensors are and . The tensors vanish on Abelian groups; two genuinely torsionful connections are not asserted there.
