Abstract
We show that if is an orientable 4-dimensional infrasolvmanifold and either or is a - or a -manifold (with ) then is parallelizable. There are non-parallelizable examples with for each of the other solvable Lie geometries , , and . We also determine which non-orientable flat 4-manifolds have a - or -structure, and consider briefly this question for the other cases.
