Nonassociative Algebras: A Framework for Differential Geometry
A nonassociative algebra endowed with a Lie bracket, called a torsion algebra, is viewed as an algebraic analog of a manifold with an affine connection. Its elements are interpreted as vector fields and its multiplication is interpreted as a connection. This provides a framework for differential geo...
