The Infinitesimalization and Reconstruction of Locally Homogeneous Manifolds
A linear connection on a Lie algebroid is called a Cartan connection if it is suitably compatible with the Lie algebroid structure. Here we show that a smooth connected manifold M is locally homogeneous – i.e., admits an atlas of charts modeled on some homogeneous space G/H – if and only if there ex...

Digital Library of Periodicals of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine| Zusammenfassung: | A linear connection on a Lie algebroid is called a Cartan connection if it is suitably compatible with the Lie algebroid structure. Here we show that a smooth connected manifold M is locally homogeneous – i.e., admits an atlas of charts modeled on some homogeneous space G/H – if and only if there exists a transitive Lie algebroid over M admitting a flat Cartan connection that is 'geometrically closed'. It is shown how the torsion and monodromy of the connection determine the particular form of G/H. Under an additional completeness hypothesis, local homogeneity becomes global homogeneity, up to cover.
