A note on locally metric connections

Differential Geometry 2016-09-13 v2

Abstract

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a connection in a plane bundle above a surface to be locally metric. These conditions are easy to be verified in any local chart. Also as a global result we give a necessary condition for two connections to be metric equivalent in terms of their Euler class.
