The Existence of Cartan Connections and Geometrizable Principal Bundles

Mohamed Barakat

Published 2002-06-13, updated 2007-07-19Version 2

The aim of this article is to proof a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of a Cartan connection on a principal bundle. After collecting the essentially well known facts to fix the terminology, soldering forms and geometrizable principal bundles are defined to finally prove the existence criterion.

Comments: 6 pages, corrected the principal typo :)
