On some flat connection associated with locally symmetric surface Cover
Open Access
|Dec 2014

Abstract

For every two-dimensional manifold M with locally symmetric linear connection ∇, endowed also with ∇-parallel volume element, we construct a flat connection on some principal fibre bundle P(M,G). Associated with - satisfying some particular conditions - local basis of TM local connection form of such a connection is an R(G)-valued 1-form build from the dual basis ω1, ω2 and from the local connection form ω of ▽. The structural equations of (M,∇) are equivalent to the condition dΩ-Ω∧Ω=0.

This work was intended as an attempt to describe in a unified way the construction of similar 1-forms known for constant Gauss curvature surfaces, in particular of that given by R. Sasaki for pseudospherical surfaces.
