Authors: Crampin, Mike, Saunders, David
Expounds a new approach to the theory of Cartan connections as path connections on a certain class of Lie groupoids, or as infinitesimal connections on corresponding Lie algebroids
It contains a comprehensive account of the symmetries of Cartan geometries
Based on these ideas it extends Cartan's theory of a single ordinary differential equation to cover systems of such equations
