anholonomic web; web; manifold; connection
Summary:
An anholonomic $(n+1)$-web of dimension $r$ is considered as an $(n+1)$-tuple of $r$-dimensional distributions in general position. We investigate a family of $(1,1)$-tensor fields (projectors and nilpotents associated with a web in a natural way) which will be used for characterization of all linear connections on a manifold preserving the given web.
