Invariant connections on Euclidean space

abstract: We recall and solve the equivalence problem for a flat C connection ∇ in Euclidean space, with methods from the theory of differential equations. The problem consists in finding an affine transformation of R^n taking ∇ to the so called trivial connection. Generalized solutions are found in dime...
