Existence of differentiable connections on top spaces

Abstract

In this paper, differentiable connections on top spaces are studied and some conditions on which there is nodifferentiable connection passing from a given point in the top space are found. In a special case, the Euclideanspace 􀔹􀬶 is considered as a top space and the existence of differentiable connections is studied. Finally, we prove that the smoothness condition of the inverse map in the definition of a top space is redundant.
