High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In differential geometry, a G-structure on an n-manifold M, for a given structure group G, is a G-subbundle of the tangent frame bundle FM (or GL(M)) of M. The notion of G-structures includes many other structures on manifolds, some of them being defined by tensor fields. For example, for the orthogonal group, an O(n)-structure defines a Riemannian metric, and for the special linear group an SL(n,R)-structure is the same as a volume form. For the trivial group, an {e}-structure consists of an absolute parallelism of the manifold. Several structures on manifolds, such as a complex structure, a symplectic structure, or a Kahler structure, are G-structures with an additional integrability condition.
