Let (E,A,M) be a vector bundle over a manifold M, and A is a commutativ subalgebra of endomorphisms of E, ˜∇ is a connection of A. An endo-connection ∇ over (E,A,M) is an operator ∇ such that:
∇:E→TM⊗A⊗E
∇X⊗a(s)=a.∇X⊗1(s)
∇X⊗a(a′.s)=a.˜∇Xa′.s+a′.∇X⊗a(s)
With X a vector, and a,a′ sections of A and s a section of E.
What is the space of endo-connections?
