On Parallel Sections of a Vector Bundle

Differential Geometry 2008-04-11 v1

Abstract

We consider when a smooth vector bundle endowed with a connection possesses non-trivial, local parallel sections. This is accomplished by means of a derived flag of subsets of the bundle. The procedure is algebraic and rests upon the Frobenius Theorem.
