Canonical Torsion-Free Connections on the Total Space of the Tangent and the Cotangent Bundle

In this paper we define a class of torsion-free connections on the total space of the (co-)tangent bundle over a base-manifold with a connection and for which tangent spaces to the fibers are parallel. Each tangent space to a fiber is flat for these connections and the canonical projection from the (co-)tangent bundle to the base manifold is totally geodesic. In particular cases the connection is metric with signature (n,n) or symplectic and admits a single parallel totally isotropic tangent n-plane.

Representations admitting two pairs of supplementary invariant spaces

We examine the lattice generated by two pairs of supplementary vector subspaces of a finite-dimensional vector space by intersection and sum, with the aim of applying the results to the study of representations admitting two pairs of supplementary invariant spaces, or one pair and a reflexive form. We show that such a representation is a direct sum of three canonical sub-representations which we characterize. We then focus on holonomy representations with the same property.
