A classification of locally homogeneous connections on 2-dimensional manifolds. (English) Zbl 1063.53024

In this very interesting paper, the author classifies (in appropriate coordinate systems) all torsion-free locally homogeneous connections on 2-dimensional manifolds: Levi-Civita connections of metrics with constant curvature; connections with constant coefficients; connections of a special type, with a kind of asymptotic flatness of the coefficients.
