INFINITESIMAL HOLONOMY ISOMETRIES AND THE CONTINUITY OF HOLONOMY DISPLACEMENTS

Abstract

Given a noncompact semisimple Lie group G and its maximal compact Lie subgroup K such that the right multiplication of each element in K gives an isometry on G, consider a principal bundle G → G/K, which is a Riemannian submersion. We study the infinitesimal holonomy isometries. Given a closed curve at eK in the base space G/K, consider the holonomy displacement of e by the horizontal lifting of the curve. We prove that the correspondence is continuous.
