Abstract

In this paper we explore algebraic and geometric structures that arise on parallelizable manifolds. Given a parallelizable manifold L\mathbb{L}, there exists a global trivialization of the tangent bundle, which defines a map ρp:lTpL\rho_p:\mathfrak{l} \longrightarrow T_p \mathbb{L} for each point pLp \in \mathbb{L}, where l\mathfrak{l} is some vector space. This allows us to define a particular class of vector fields, known as fundamental vector fields, that correspond to each element of l\mathfrak{l}. Furthermore, flows of these vector fields give rise to a product between elements of % \mathfrak{l} and L\mathbb{L}, which in turn induces a local loop structure (i.e. a non-associative analog of a group). Furthermore, we also define a generalization of a Lie algebra structure on l\mathfrak{l}. We will describe the properties and examples of these constructions.
